The streetscape enhancement intends to transform Meninya St into a space that will have daytime and night-time venues and facilities, such as bike paths, cafes, laneways and outdoor or rooftop dining venues.
Murray River Council Acting Mayor Frank Crawley said the project hoped to transform the heart of Moama into a vibrant precinct of social and economic activity.
“The concept designs showcase the future vision for Meninya St by highlighting enhancements to the streetscape and Kerrabee Soundshell Precinct,” Cr Crawley said.
“Focusing on increasing pedestrian activity and economic development within Moama, the project aims to improve safety, accessibility and visual appearance of the streetscape.”
Informed by community feedback, the designs were developed utilising input from residents and business owners on the Meninya St Advisory Committee as well as the issues and opportunities identified in the 2019 Meninya St Master Plan.
“Reshaping Meninya St from a transport thoroughfare into an innovative and sustainable precinct, this project intends to position Moama as a key tourist destination,” Cr Crawley said.
“Strategically investing in infrastructure, parks and open spaces, and surrounding points of interest, council aims to create a 'sense of place' and support high intensity developments including multi-level and multi-function spaces for business and the community to thrive.”
Consultation surrounding the designs will commence online in the coming week, supported by drop-in sessions in Moama where people can view the plans and provide feedback in person.
The Meninya St Precinct Project is one of Murray River Council’s largest projects.
Details and dates will soon be available on council’s website.
Feedback and comments provided by the public will be reviewed by the project team to identify any required changes or amendments to future designs.
Any required alterations to the streetscape will be reflected in future design outputs including the three-dimensional flythrough video and construction designs scheduled for production in the new financial year.
