The design scheme focused on Main Street and Arthur Whittling Park that ties together adjoining major developments in line with Council’s vision statement:

‘The CBD as the heart of the community, should be a vibrant and energetic place with pedestrian activity, restaurants, cafés, retail services and places for people to enjoy and meet taking full advantage of existing and proposed public transport opportunities and significant heritage items’

The plan was subject to extensive consultation and was subsequently adopted by Council. The masterplan was used as the basis for construction documentation for a first stage of works by Environmental Partnership and a multidisciplinary team.
