There is one week left for the community to have its say on the three-minute video, developed and published by council.
The project is aiming to turn the heart of Moama to increase economic investment and support a night-time economy.
The animation gives a realistic visual of the potential streetscape enhancements and provides further insight into the concept plans.
It offers an enhanced experience that replicates what the Meninya St project could look like once completed.
“The video animation gives a new perspective on the proposed road, shared pathway, dedicated bike lane, median strip and landscaping designs, as well as street furniture and potential parking arrangements within the road reserve,” Murray River Council Mayor Chris Bilkey said.
“It also includes possible building opportunities including multi-storey shop-top examples and other exciting retail or commercial development opportunities ready for investors, such as rooftop bars and eateries.”
“We are now encouraging interested community members and businesses to take a look to see if they agree.”
Project manager Matt Sherman said public feedback from the animation formed the second stage of public engagement on the designs.
“Over 18 survey submissions and 186 comments have been made on the animation to date, providing lots of insightful feedback,” Mr Sherman said.
“All comments are valuable as this will be the final round of consultation before we commence the formal civil design of the streetscape.”
To date, the main concerns seem to be parking, roadway width and heavy vehicle usage.
“The designs propose a move from angled to parallel spaces, which not only improves safety and time taken to leave parking bays, but increases available space for businesses, landscaping, pedestrians and cyclists,” Mr Sherman said.
Greenery: The animation video goes for three minutes and can be found on the Meninya St Project page on the Murray River Council website.

“We are looking at other options to maximise the space in the area and parking spaces — which is why the feedback is really crucial at this point.”
Cr Bilkey and Mr Sherman encourage the public to have their say in the project and raise any concerns they may have to benefit the community as a whole.
“The precinct project has the capacity to bring tremendous benefits to our community,” Cr Bilkey said.
“Not only will it expand Moama’s economic opportunities, but it will create a more vibrant and dynamic centre that will serve as a hub of activity for our residents.”
The public has one more week to provide feedback to the council, with the feedback site being taken down on Sunday, March 5.
