Lord Mayor Sue Hickey and Civil Projects Team Leader Josh Wilkins cracked the soil today at Lenah Valley as the project commenced its construction phase. In the months ahead the shopping precinct will receive loads of work including an overhaul of services, asset upgrades, street trees, funky furniture and various artworks. Stay tuned for updates as the City of Hobart upgrades Lenah Valley.
The consultation period for this project has now concluded.
The City of Hobart sought feedback from the community on the concept design for the Lenah Valley Retail Precinct. The concept design was developed by the City’s project officers along with a community based project action team. These designs were open for public comment during the month of February.
As a result of this public consultation, Council officers have reviewed all feedback received and have amended the concept plans to reflect the community's views. The Revised Concept Plans and Stakeholder Feedback Report will be presented to Council on 8 May 2017.
A fact sheet on the changes to on-street parking is also available for viewing.
The upgrade will make the Lenah Valley retail precinct a more accessible and attractive community place. Proposed improvements will include:
footpath widening on the southern side allowing for more comfortable pedestrian movement and opportunities for outdoor dining.
New paving and kerbs, street trees, seating, signage, lighting and public art will breathe new life into this local main street.
It will be easier to cross the road with two upgraded median island crossing points and level pedestrian crossing treatments across Greenway Avenue and Courtney Street.
A new accessible parking space near the chemist and a 2.4m wide clear path of travel against the building line will provide better access for people with disabilities.
An uphill bike lane and bike parking will be included in the upgrade in response to growing numbers of people riding bikes in the area and to encourage active transport.
Works are planned to commence in October 2017 and will be completed in the first half of 2018.
