  Welcome to On-Street Parking!

  We are pleased to announce the Cann River on-street parking is now complete and open to the public.

  

  We have delivered:

  • 45 new car parks, some of which can be utilised as long vehicle parking.
  • road pavement reconstruction works to new design levels.
  • replacement of curb and channel and associated road drainage including the replacement of drainage pits and pipes
  • asphalt surfacing
  • line marking
  • new road signage
  • provision of on-street car parking realised via the road improvement works.
  • upgrades to the public toilets
  • A minimum width of 2700mm has been provided for carparking, 300mm greater than the minimum standard of 2400mm.

  The completion of these works has increased road user safety and has made it easier for residents and visitors to access local businesses.

  The new road pavement and signage has enhanced the overall appearance and functionality of the area, with the additional streetscape infrastructure improving the towns amenity, encouraging visitors and travelers to ‘stop, stay and spend’.

  We would like to thank contractors, Fulton Hogan.

  This Project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, and by East Gippsland Shire Council.

  Council has obtained funding from the Australian government, Department of Infrastructure Transport and Regional Development to upgrade Station, Central and Baum Streets in Cann River. The criteria of the funding limits the works to:

  • road pavement reconstruction works to new design levels
  • replacement of kerb and channel and associated road drainage including the replacement of drainage pits and pipes
  • asphalt surfacing
  • line marking
  • new road signage
  • provision of on-street car parking realised via the road improvement works
  • replacement of footpaths adjacent to the pavement reconstruction activities

  The new on street parking project will redevelop and improve road, drainage and car parking within the Cann River township. The proposal will see improvements to existing road infrastructure and drainage, with the development of on street carparking and adjacent footpath connections within the township. The proposed car parking upgrades will be made on Station Street, Central Street and Baum Street.

  Concept plans and artists impressions can be found in the documents section of this page and in person at the Cann Valley Bush Nursing Centre and the Cann River Community Centre.

  Community Consultation
