Balclutha Streetscape Consultation Group confirmed
A
consultation group made up of various council, community and business
representatives has been confirmed to help select the concept design for the
Balclutha streetscape upgrade.
Council
Manager District Assets Jules Witt said three different consultants were
currently developing landscape designs and initial costs estimates for the
budgeted $2.6 million streetscape upgrade planned to take place over the
next 12 months.
Mr Witt said
the concept designs would be presented to the newly formed Balclutha
Streetscape Consultation Group around mid-June, so the group can provide
input into Council’s tender award process.
The
Consultation Group consists of:
-
Mayor Bryan
Cadogan (Chairperson)
-
Balclutha
Ward Councillors Hamish Anderson, Ron Davis, Mary Johnstone and Ken Payne
-
District
Assets Committee Chairman Cr John Cochrane
-
Clutha
District Youth Council Chairperson Kelsey Harrison and Balclutha workplace
representative Kate Morrison
-
Colin
Mitchell (Otago Chamber of Commerce representative)
-
Peter Soper
(Emergency Services representative)
-
Alex
McLellan (Heavy Haulage Association representative)
-
Bill Wise
(Senior Citizens representative)
-
Evan Watt,
Ngaire Taylor, Michelle Jury, Bruce Duncan, Dave Kenny, Syd Harbrow &
Margaret Collins (community/business
representatives)
Mr Witt said
that once Council had finalised the landscape designer and a preferred
concept design, this would then go out to the wider community for public
consultation. This was expected to happen around late July.
Through last
year’s Long Term Plan process, Council set a total budget of $2.6 million
for the streetscape upgrade, including $400,000 for the undergrounding of
power lines in the main CBD area and $550,000 worth of footpath upgrades.
Exactly what
the rest of the upgrade would include would depend on the concept design
chosen and the outcome of the public consultation. But potentially it could
include new footpaths, changes to intersections, improved pedestrian access,
new streetlights, new street furniture, and plantings.
