Cavanagh Street Refresh – Have your say
We’re refreshing Cavanagh Street to create a place for all to enjoy!
Kingston is home to many vibrant local shopping precincts, which bring people together, offering connections with traders and a strong sense of local identity.
A much-loved area for locals is the Cavanagh Street shopping strip in Cheltenham (between Friendship Square and Dewrang Street) which is now in need of a refresh.
We are creating a more inviting and accessible space for locals to enjoy for years to come. Our draft concept plan includes:
- a wider footpath in front of 85-99 Cavanagh Street to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility
- a new accessible parking bay in front of 85 Cavanagh Street
- a new paved area with landscaping, garden beds, seating and table near Frank’s Café
- the relocation of the existing Telstra phone box slightly further along the strip to allow better use of the space
- new street furniture including seating, bins and bicycle hoops along the strip
- new trees and landscaping enhancing biodiversity and making the shopping strip more vibrant and inviting.
The proposed improvements have been carefully designed to support our community and footpath trading opportunities for interested businesses and can be viewed in the attached concept plan.
We’re currently in the early planning stages and would love to hear your thoughts, to make sure we are on the right track.
