Kilcoy Streetscape Revitalisation

Kilcoy-Streetscape.jpg

Somerset Regional Council engaged consultants, AECOM, to assist in delivering the Kilcoy Streetscape Revitalisation Master Plan(PDF, 17MB). The master plan defines the critical issues for Kilcoy and provides a clear and compelling rationale for the proposed changes to the town centre. The master plan illustrates a long-term vision and specific initiatives which promote the gateways and sense of arrival, provide a new town green to act as a central heart and shady, green and safe connection designed with people in mind. This shared vision and master plan provides a foundation for Council, business owners and residents to work together to implement the priority outcomes in a staged and sequenced way for the benefit of Kilcoy.

Engagement Process

Community engagement underpinned the preparation of the Master Plan. Council carried out engagement activities between May and September 2023, allowing necessary time to raise the profile of the project and ensure the community had opportunities to 'Have Their Say'. The engagement program was divided into two phases and there were several community and stakeholder touch points.
