After securing $505,701 from the NSW Government's Your High Street grant program in May 2021, Council are set to improve safety, amenity and functionality of No Name Lane and Blacksmiths Lane.
The two pedestrian laneways intersect with Monaro Street and act as a link between carparks, businesses, community and arts venues.
The planed rejuvenation of these lanes aims to increase pedestrian traffic in Queanbeyan, support local businesses and improve community safety and comfort.
Initial concepts for the two lanes are now open for community comment on our Your Voice page. The proposed work in these laneways includes:
- Upgraded paving - Dedicated public art
- Increased lighting - Greenery
- Seating
"This is a really exciting opportunity to help shape the way our CBD looks and feels. We are looking for community stories that would enrich the history on display in Blacksmiths Lane and to create a network of creatives to contribute to the art gallery proposed for No Name Lane," Mayor Tim Overall said.
You can get involved by going to the Monaro Lanes Your Voice page, looking at the plans and completing the survey.
Participants of the survey can also tick the 'contact me' box to contribute more stories and knowledge with Council's Placemaking team.
