Project Update 14/02/2023

Council acknowledges the tireless efforts of the local Mallacoota community and key stakeholders in their efforts to date to progress the main street precinct masterplan to the next important stage. Council is pleased to announce that consultants Fraser Design Collaborative have been awarded the contract for the detailed design development of the concept masterplan that will allow the revitalisation of the Mallacoota Streetscape project to progress to the construction stage.

This is an exciting milestone for the project and with this announcement we are moving closer towards construction. An important part of the detailed design development phase is to work closely with the key stakeholders, which includes a local Project Reference Group made up of local community members, to develop a construction staging approach and timetable that allows continuing access by the public, maintains business operations, and manages the impacts from construction activities.

On completion of the detail design program Council will engage contractors to coordinate the construction of the works, working carefully with the local community and businesses to balance the intricacies of maintaining a safe construction site whilst ensuring the continued need for access to the main street precinct by the community.

Council anticipates works will commence later this year once the detailed designs are completed and a detailed works program is developed.
