At Tuesday's meeting of Campaspe Shire Council, Council awarded the Rushworth Streetscape Stage 2 tender of $1.74 million to Earthworks Civil & Construction.

Director Infrastructure, Kate Lemon said the works on Stage 2 are expected to commence in October 2023 and be completed in March 2024, prior to the Easter Heritage Festival.

"The works will be split into six stages, to minimise impact on Rushworth property owners and residents.

"Temporary access paths will be installed during each stage to ensure the relevant sections of High Street, affected shopfronts and residential properties are still accessible," Ms Lemon said.

Access requirements will be identified through continued one-on-one consultation with impacted property owners. From each consultation, suitable temporary access pathways will be installed.

There will be limited access to on-street car parking in directly affected work zones. Parking outside of the direct work zones on High Street will remain as normal and supplementary additional car parks will be available during critical stages of the redevelopment along High Street.

The stages of the redevelopment include:

  • Stage 1 – Footpath and kerb works on the western side of High Street from Wigg Street to Bendigo Bank
  • Stage 2 – Footpath and kerb works on the western side of High Street from Bendigo Bank to the north side of the Railway Line
  • Stage 3 – Footpath and kerb works on the western side of High Street from the north side of the Railway Line to Moora Road
  • Stage 4 – Road pavement works on the western side of High Street
  • Stage 5 – Footpath and kerb works on the eastern side of High Street adjacent to the Post Office
  • Stage 6 – Road pavement works on the eastern side of High Street
