A CHANGE in direction to deliver Pyramid Hill’s troubled $1.9 million streetscape project has excited residents, according to town progress association president Drew Chislett.
Mr Chislett said Loddon Shire’s decision to take on the project also had residents optimistic that works would be completed in a timely manner.
“We are very passionate about this and any other project in Pyramid Hill and vitally interested in their success,” he said.
“Both the community and progress association had been concerned with delays in streetscape works and that was expressed to council who we see as a partner in projects around town.”
“The streetscape delays had been a negative impact so we are now excited with the change of direction and look forward to timely completion.”
Loddon Shire last week announced it had reached “a mutual agreement for the contractor to exit the project site”.
Streetscape works were originally scheduled for completion last May before delays pushed out plans.
