A $750,000 commitment has been made to CBD revitalisation as part of the City of Greater Geraldton’s 2017/18 Budget.
To keep our top-class Foreshore and City Centre on track for further developments, the funds set aside in the new Budget will go towards comprehensive planning for the CBD which encompasses a number of elements.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said there is also a commitment to quarantine land sale proceeds to go towards revitalisation projects.
The City expects this fund to have an intial amount of $1.4 million from the sale of the old City depot site, which is expected to soon house Aldi’s Geraldton store.
“Our CBD and Foreshore are the jewel in our town and we know how important it is that we keep progress on track to ensure it stays vibrant and somewhere that our locals and visitors want to be,” he said.
“We’ve completed so many legacy projects in our CBD with the undergrounding of power on Chapman Road and Durlacher Street right around the corner.
“Now we can start focusing on some visionary projects such as beautifying our CBD with parklets, more trees and the possibility of parts of Foreshore Drive being open to two-way traffic.
“We’ve done so much amazing work and now we want to start look at really capping it off with some great initiatives for our community.”
