Evatt shops improvements

Project description

Design is underway on Evatt shops improvements.

Public space upgrades are coming to the local shops on the corner of Clancy Street and Heydon Crescent in Evatt to improve access and the overall look and feel, encouraging the community to shop local and spend more time in their suburbs.

A draft preliminary design was released for public consultation from June to August 2023. More information on the consultation process and the feedback received is available on YourSay Conversations.

Key features

• New seating and tables providing spaces to sit and gather.
• Proposed nature play and accessible play elements which may include an accessible nest swing, balancing logs and steppers.
• An art mural to brighten up the area.
• New accessible parking bays.
• Additional trees and better landscaping.
• Improved access for pedestrians including paths, safe crossings and stairways.
• Resurfacing of the service area off McClure Street and improved access and safety at Heydon Place.

Current status

We are currently finalising the design ahead of construction procurement which is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2024. Construction timeframes will be firmed up as part of this process.
