The massive $6.1 million
make-over of our town centre is in full swing.
There’s a fresh new look at
the village green creating a “northern gateway” to the central business
area. New street trees, new seats, rubbish bins and street lights
enhance the look of the whole town centre.
Work in Broadway and
O’Shannessey Street have created strong links with the rest of the town
centre and make the area an appealing, attractive environment that
encourages shoppers to stop and shop.
The town square is the most
ambitious part of the project, and it’s well under way with a new
“stage” for small performances, a water feature, new seating and grassed
areas creating a warm and welcoming space for visitors and locals.
Many Broadway businesses
tell us foot traffic and customer spending is up significantly on a year
ago, and the same effect is spreading into O’Shannessey Street as a more
pedestrian-friendly road layout makes it easier to move around the town
centre on foot.
