Leeton Shire Council is pleased to share a project update on the Chelmsford Place Town Square upgrade, highlighting steady advancements achieved in both Stage 1 and the recently commenced Stage 2.
For Stage 1, progress has included:
- Completion of demolition and site preparation works;
- Successful installation of plumbing infrastructure for the rill and dry fountain;
- Dethridge wheel concrete encasement and rill poured;
- Near-completion of the footpath at the roundabout end of Chelmsford Place;
- Installation of primary electrical and audio infrastructure;
- Preparation works for kerb replacement commenced.
Manager Open Space & Recreation, Josh Clyne, is confident that contractor, Boots Civil, will continue this steady progress in the new year for the next stage.
"To ensure the project stays on track for Stage 2, we have already initiated demolition and concrete preparation works as well as the commencement of heritage bandstand restoration," he said.
Cr George Weston, Portfolio lead for CBD Enhancement, expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the project.
"It's been exciting following the transformation of our town square. Being a busy thoroughfare, this project comes with great visibility which not only keeps our community informed but also offers them a glimpse into the extensive works being carried out, above and below ground," he said.
Mayor Tony Reneker acknowledged both the State and Federal Government.
"This CBD enhancement project wouldn't be possible without the help of our funders – the NSW Open Spaces Legacy Fund and the Commonwealth's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Fund. We are grateful for their financial assistance," he said.
The Chelmsford Place Town Square upgrade is Stage 3 of the CBD Enhancement Strategy. For the latest updates and further information on the project's developments, please visit the Leeton Shire Council website.
