Give your feedback on Tweed Heads CBD streetscape upgrade
Council is planning to complete an upgrade of the streetscape in the Tweed Heads central business district - pending confirmation of a publically announced grant of $613,184 from the Federal Government - and is liaising with neighbouring businesses to finalise the design.
The project will cost almost $1 million, including Federal Government and Tweed Shire Council contributions, and will complete a revitalisation of the CBD streetscape, to create a more vibrant and attractive commercial hub, after the first stage of works was undertaken 10 years ago.
Stage 2 will upgrade two sites:
- Site 1 - Bay Street between Sands and Enid Streets
- Site 2 - Wharf Street between Florence and Frances Streets
It will bring Bay Street and the remaining area of Wharf Street up to the same level of streetscape as Wharf Street from Griffith Street to Frances Street.
Stage 2 works are currently scheduled to begin in early 2014 and will:
- plant more shade trees along pedestrian routes and next to car parking
- make the two sites more pedestrian friendly
- rationalise and improve car parking
A more attractive and functional streetscape will complement and encourage the arrival of new businesses into the CBD.
Schedule
Planning and designing for Stage 2 is expected to be finalised this year and, pending confirmation of the Federal Government grant, construction is scheduled to begin in February 2014, to avoid disruptions during the Christmas shopping and holiday period.
