The Wardell Village Centre Revitalisation Master Plan was adopted at the 23 November 2023 Council Meeting.

The plan was developed through extensive community consultation with local businesses, community groups, residents and visitors. The Draft Master Plan was on exhibition from Tuesday 3 October to Tuesday 24 October 2023.

The Master Plan includes three main focus areas:

  • connecting to the river
  • streetscape of Richmond Street and Sinclair Street
  • community green space.

Designs in these focus areas seek to address the key community directions culminating from the many engagement activities and the community design charette undertaken in March 2023.

Council allocated $900,000 from the NSW Government’s Local Government Recovery Program towards this project.

At the 23 November meeting Council approved the allocation of $208,000 from the Community Infrastructure Reserve to increase the total budget for this project to $1,108,000, based on $43,000 expended to date, leaving a construction budget of $1,065,000.

Council will now commence design and construction of the 'Community Green Space' focus area as outlined in the Master Plan.
