About the Project

Council has obtained funding from the Commonwealth 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.

Community Consultation

Council hosted consultation sessions on 12 May 2022 to discuss the proposed plans for the on-street parking works in Cann River and thanks to all the members of the Cann River community who attended.

Ongoing engagement has continued with key stakeholders; being the local RSL and the Cann River Community Centre to ensure development proposals meet the community’s needs.

Next Steps

Since finalising the detailed design, Council will proceed into procurement and delivery. Procurement commenced in December 2022, with contract award scheduled for late February 2023 and construction to commence in March 2023.
