Media Release - Upgrading footpaths in central business district

MEDIA RELEASE 10 September 2021

Council is continuing to improve footpaths around the central business district as part of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Fund round two thanks to the Federal Government. Around $300,000 will be spent upgrading the following footpaths:

  • Kings Parade in George Street.
  • William St from the Eddy Hotel to the corner of Russell St
  • Russell St from William St to Aldi
  • Bentinck St from Keppel St to Heaths Ln
  • Bentinck St from No 185 to No 191 to connect two previous sections of replaced footpath
  • William St in front of the Pearl Petrol Station
  • William St in front of Cobb & Co Cellars
  • William St from the corner shop at Lambert St to Piper St
  • Keppel St – section in front of The Hub

Mayor Ian North said ensuring the city’s footpaths were maintained was one of his priorities.

“Upgrading our city’s footpaths is important as it not only improves the streetscape around the central business district, it also improves accessibility,” he said.

The upgrades are in addition to $350,000 of footpath upgrades completed earlier this year around Machattie Park, Russell St, William St and Keppel St.
