Georgetown Local Centre
We are working to improve the look and feel of Georgetown Local Centre. Our proposed upgrade includes street renewal and landscaping with a focus on creating public space for socialising and outdoor trade, with improved connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.
The upgrades aim to:
- Improve accessibility, safety and convenience for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Improve driver visibility and safety.
- Make improvements to infrastructure including drainage.
- Create more space for people by building wider footpaths and a new plaza.
- Improve the natural environment by providing more trees and landscaping.
These upgrades will benefit both businesses and residents – delivering a safer, more attractive place to visit, that attracts customers and presents an alternative to large shopping centres with access to an EV charging station.
Staged works
Early works are now complete. These upgrades support the previous 40km/h zone with new speed control devices and additional entry infrastructure located at 35 Moate Street, and 30 and 76 Georgetown Road.
Streetscape works will include upgrades to underground assets, renewed road surfaces and better footpaths, upgraded street furniture and more green space, with new street trees and landscaping.
Plaza works will include a new public plaza at the intersection of Moate Street and Georgetown Road, which will create an attractive destination to support the shopping precinct while also facilitating safer cycle access between Asher Street and Parkview Street.
Detailed design is underway, and the public will have an opportunity to have their say on concept designs.
