DESIGNS for Inglewood’s streetscape project with a price tag of more than $6 million could be finished within weeks.
Loddon Shire Council last week told Brooke Street traders there would be community consultation late next month.
Project manager Bruce Arthur’s update to traders said design work was 90 per cent finished.
He told them that community consultation “which is well underway” would be finished in the next two months.
“This significant investment will enhance the safety, accessibility and character of Inglewood’s town centre supporting local business, celebrating cultural heritage and improving liveability for residents and visitors,” the letter said.
Features of the design yet to be made public include safer pedestrian crossings, heritage-inspired landscaping, street furniture, lighting and tree planting, integration of Dja Dja Wurrung cultural elements, according to council. Council last month said it was preparing an application for Federal Government funding of the streetscape project that has already seen the old service station demolished.
