A design consultant, Infrastructure Solutions, has been appointed to complete the civil design of the High St and Main St. The design will be based on the concepts and themes outlined within the Maldon Town Centre Streetscape Plan.
The Infrastructure Solutions design consultant team is assisted by Urban Initiatives (Landscape Architect), Heritage Alliance (Heritage Consultant) and Webb Australia (Lighting Consultant). Powercor is undertaking the detailed design related to undergrounding power in parallel with the civil design.
The development of the project business case, funded by Council and Regional Development Victoria, has led to the recent announcement in May 2020 by the Victorian State Government of a $4.5M funding contribution towards the project.
The Streetscape Steering Group (comprising the Ward councillor, Council CEO, local business operators, landowners, Maldon Neighbourhood house, Maldon Inc., Maldon Focus and Maldon Community Bank) meet periodically to discuss matters related to all aspects of the project. The Concept Designs were presented to this group in February 2020 and feedback has been received and is generally incorporated into the comments below.
