Lanyon Marketplace improvements

Project description

Design is underway on Lanyon Marketplace improvements.

Public space upgrades are coming to the Lanyon Marketplace on the corner of Box Hill Avenue and Tharwa Drive in Conder 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 providing spaces to sit and gather.
• Additional trees and better landscaping.
• Improved access for pedestrians including paths, pram ramps and safe crossing points.
• New raised intersection at Balcombe and Sidney Nolan streets including a new pedestrian crossing.
• Additional parking spaces on Sidney Nolan Street.
• Upgraded stairway, new mural and lighting at the Box Hill Avenue underpass.
• New shade structure and plantings at the skate park.
• Upgrade of the Tharwa Drive and Norman Lindsay intersection.

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.
