The Williamson Street footpath renewal is part of the City Centre Tree Interactions project. We're committed to repairing our road infrastructure due to the damage of existing tree roots.
Scope of works
The works will occur on the north-east side of Williamson Street, Bendigo, between Myers and Mollison Streets.
It will include new tree pits, concrete kerb, and standard city centre asphalt and bluestone paved footpath. There will be a total number of six carspaces constructed (with a loss of 3 existing carspaces).
Tree removal and new planting
Three existing trees, Plantanus x acerifolia (London plane tree) will be removed and replaced with four Zelkova serrata (Japanese elm) with improved conditions for tree growth.
Funding
The City Centre Tree Interactions project is funded by the City of Greater Bendigo.
Timeline
The works are anticipated to commence mid-January 2026 and be completed by June 2026.
