Council evaluates the condition of our roads each year and selects several projects for design and construction. This process is initiated when maintaining a road is not feasible, poses safety risks to our community, or fails to meet the current road standards for urban roads.

Payne Street in Bairnsdale has been identified as one such road, and we have conducted site investigations and completed preliminary design to estimate construction cost.

As part of this project a previous design was completed in 2020, and Council is now looking into moving toward a more detailed construction plan, in order to complete this much needed restoration work.

The proposed extent of work and layout can be found in the document section of this page.

Objective and scope

The project aims to upgrade Payne Street in Bairnsdale, from Gordon Street to Main Street Intersection, by installing new underground drainage and road pavement to meet urban road standards.

The upgrades are set to enhance safety and pedestrian movement, and involve constructing footpaths, underground drainage, kerb and channel, and on-street parking bays. This project offers several benefits to the Bairnsdale area, including improved safety, pedestrian comfort, reduced maintenance costs, better road functionality, increased community satisfaction, and support for economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Note that the project will not include street lighting, off-street parking, landscaping, or driveway construction.

Community Consultation

Consultation with the local residents and businesses will help to inform the development of the detailed design for road infrastructure upgrades that meet current and future usage.

The concept design is available in the document section.

Feedback on the concept design is welcome until midday Monday 9 June 2025.

We value your feedback and are here to support you through this process. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Project Supervisor at 5153 9500 or via email to feedback@egipps.vic.gov.au

Funding

Funding for design and investigative work is allocated as part of Council's adopted Budget for financial year 2024/25.

Construction is subject to funding availability in future years.
