PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Council received the SCCF grant to undertake streetscape upgrades in the villages of Caragabal, Quandialla and Greenethorpe. The project aims to significantly enhance the community, improve the overall village amenity and increase visitation attraction. The project is to improve the liveability of the community, an identifiable and public sense of place, through effective identity. The upgrades will improve amenity and accessibility for an ageing community and youth, by making it an attractive place for community engagement and celebration. Works can include refurbishment of local building facades, welcoming infrastructure such as tables/chairs and other ancillary works such as tree planting and landscaping along streets and public spaces.
