The Glyde Street Streetscape Masterplan sets out a long-term vision to transform Glyde Street into a greener, more welcoming, and accessible town centre that supports local businesses and creates a vibrant place for the community to enjoy.
Following extensive community engagement, Council endorsed the Masterplan in 2025. The project has now moved into the delivery phase, with improvements to be implemented in stages.
Stage 1 construction is scheduled to commence mid-September 2026 (subject to materials delivery) and will focus on improvements along the northern side of Glyde Street.
Works include:
New paving and widening of the northern footpath.
Installation of new bicycle racks outside Samsons Paddock.
Permeable paving, tree pits and new trees in front of 1 Glyde Street.
Additional street tree planting and verge improvements.
These works represent the first stage of delivering the endorsed Masterplan and are designed to improve pedestrian comfort, increase greenery and enhance the overall streetscape.
A staged approach
The Glyde Street Revitalisation will be delivered progressively over time. While Stage 1 focuses on improvements that can be delivered now, detailed design for future stages is continuing to support the implementation of the remaining elements of the endorsed Masterplan.
We'll continue to provide updates as key project milestones are reached, including future design progress, construction planning and upcoming works.
