Survey and geotechnical testing works are underway to progress the civil design based on the concepts in the Maldon Streetscape Plan adopted last year. The plan aims to improve character and function of the town centre, with a focus on the central areas of Main and High streets. The detailed design will help inform a business case to seek funding for construction. The streetscape plan is part of the Maldon Town Centre Restoration Project, a partnership between the State Government, Council and the Maldon community. Other project priorities include the provision of underground power and the restoration of shopfronts in the main business and retail area. Powercor is also undertaking detailed design related to the undergrounding of power, and discussions with property owners about the shop front improvement program are ongoing.
