Streets as Shared Spaces Installation
A parklet has been installed on the corner Market and Auburn Streets at Belmore Park with the $488,210, State Funded, Streets as Shared Spaces grant awarded to Goulburn Mulwaree Council. Colourful benches and tables joined the solar lighting and revamped electrical pillar which is painted with a fireman in Russell Lane; a reminder of the 2019/20 fires.
Over the next couple of weeks, Council staff will be working to install furniture on the Corner of Montague and Auburn Streets in Belmore Park to create a ‘Café Hub’ of tables, chairs, benches and large decorative pot plants.
The community will also see the installation of the blisters and line-marking for a pedestrian crossing on the corner of Market and Auburn Streets and benches installed in the spaces underneath the trees along Auburn Street. 3D chalk art will start to ‘pop up’ from the 23rd November in Russell Lane and Belmore Park.
Fairy lights will adorn the trees in time for the Official Activation Opening by, The Hon. Wendy Tuckerman, on Saturday 26 November at 12 noon, coupled with Pictures and Popcorn in the Park.
In December two ‘Chill Out Trees’ with bench seating (one disability friendly unit) will be installed at the top of the stairs at Belmore Park.
Thanks to the NSW Government, trialling innovative and creative community street spaces in Goulburn will drive collaborative partnerships, encourage the community to shop locally, create safer walking spaces and increase the night time economy.
