These works will revitalise the streetscape providing improved walkability, accessibility and amenity for pedestrians with renewed street furniture and streetscape planting. The local Project Reference Group, made up of representatives from the local community have been meeting regularly with Council and the design consultants to review the detailed plan development and ensure the community is kept updated on the progress of the streetscape project.

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.

Consultation update
Share Consultation update on Facebook Share Consultation update on Twitter Share Consultation update on Linkedin Email Consultation update linkCommunity Consultation was conducted by Council with the Mallacoota Community in June where valuable feedback was received which will shape the way Maurice Avenue, Mallacoota will look, work and feel in the future.
Council also received online and written responses from the community, especially after direct contact from businesses and people attending the community consultation sessions held at the Maurice Avenue Rotunda. These pop up sessions were also attended by the local Project Reference Group, all members of the Mallacoota community.
Summary of feedback received on the concept masterplan as presented was as follows:
- The need ability to enter and exit central carpark mid-way
- The three pedestrian crossing points are a good inclusion as presented
- Increase parking numbers back to current
- No need for surface upgrade in central carpark
- Focus new footpath treatment at top end of street
- Retain gathering area near roundabout and entry garden as presented
The results gathered from the community feedback enabled the local Project Reference Group members, in partnership with Council, to make appropriate changes to the concept masterplan ready to proceed to the next stage. These changes can be seen in the MID-LEVEL MASTERPLAN document in the documents section of this page.
The project is currently out to tender for an appropriate designer to undertake the final plan documentation suitable for construction.
