Detailed design stage
At its Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM) on 27 September 2022, Council provided unanimous approval for the concept design to proceed to the detailed design stage.
A number of changes to the draft concept design were made as a result of the feedback, including:
- The preferred option for the Evans Street and Fortune Street intersection was the raised plateau.
- The removal of red asphalt treatment on Evans Street between Herbert Road and Excelsior Street.
- Additional traffic calming at both the Rosalie Street and Hensman Road filtered intersections with Keightley Road.
- Amendments to the location and number of traffic calming buildouts on Keightley Road.
- Additional linemarking included along the route.
Council considered the concept design at its recent OCM and gave approval for the project to proceed, but asked for the detailed design to be put to Council again prior to construction and also noted that every effort should be made to maintain street parking amenity where possible.
The City will now proceed with the detailed design stage of the project, which will include site surveys and identifying any additional lighting or drainage requirements, for further consideration by Council.
The City would like to thank everyone who has taken part in the community consultation for this project so far.
