Community vision for the future of Bathurst’s town centre

MEDIA RELEASE 21 August 2020

A draft master plan for Bathurst’s town centre is being currently being developed by consultants Allen Jack + Cottier Architects based on feedback gained from the community.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said at this time the draft master plan for the Bathurst Town Centre has not been completed and has not yet been presented to Council for consideration.

“The community can still lodge feedback on the concepts at any time through the YourSay Bathurst website which includes a range of information on the master plan process.”

“When the draft master plan is received in coming months, Council will consider the matter and the draft master plan will be placed on public exhibition for feedback and consultation will be undertaken with businesses and the community.”

The Bathurst Town Centre Master plan encompasses seven blocks and aims to strengthen the town centre as a regional business and cultural hub, improve linkages and thoroughfares and complement the heritage character of the town centre in addition to reuse options for the former TAFE site.
