Korumburra Streetscape

Location of the works:

• Commercial Street – from King Street and up all the way to Bridge Street
• Bridge Street – around into Mine Road to the rear car park of the Austral Hotel
• Radovick Street – Commercial Street to Victoria Street.

What will be happening?
The works will take place on parts of Commercial Street, Bridge Street and Radovick Street and will include:

• Replacing brick paved footpaths with concrete footpaths;
• Change Commercial Street to a single lane of traffic in each direction;
• Parallel parking will be retained with improved protection from through traffic by the inclusion of a maneuvering lane;
• Replacing public utility pits and pit lids to suit the design of the new footpaths;
• Constructing kerbs and kerb extensions, and new garden beds;
• Installing new street furniture and public amenities such as seating and litter bins, and
• Adjusting street lights and pedestrian signals to suit the new works.

South Gippsland Water has been able to reschedule the replacement of the aging water mains located in the Korumburra town centre to align with Council’s renewal works. It is hoped that this will minimise disruption associated with the construction activity. Any enquiries regarding the water

main replacement works should be directed to South Gippsland Water.

When will the works be taking place?
Works will commence in Bridge Street during February 2024. Moving forward the works will be staggered to reduce disruption and will continue in sections until late 2024.

Who will be doing the works?
The works will be undertaken by local contractors BJ’s Earthmoving and managed by South Gippsland Shire Council. Works will be managed to maintain safety, traffic, access to businesses and minimise the temporary loss of parking.
 

How much will it cost?
The Commercial St Streetscape project has a budget of $3 million and is funded by Council with a loan from the Victorian Government’s Community Infrastructure Loan Scheme.
