Bellingen Main Street Stage 3 Beautification and Accessibility Project Commences Bridge Street Reconstruction Works The next stage of the Bellingen Main Street Beautification Project is planned to commence on Monday 30 April and is expected to continue until the end of June. During that time there will be works on Hyde Street around the existing pedestrian crossing near the Memorial Hall and on Bridge Street to realign the Waterfall Way intersection. The works will involve the relocation of the existing pedestrian crossing on Hyde Street as well as earth works, pavement works, upgrade of the water main, installation of power and lighting, tree removal and landscaping in and around the intersection.
Pedestrian access will be managed on site during the construction, access to businesses in this area will remain available with some exclusion areas. Council will endeavour to minimise disruption to pedestrian thoroughfare during these works. Pedestrians are requested to exercise caution in this area and adhere to controls in place. Further information can be found on Council’s ‘Create’ Community Engagement Hub at https://create.bellingen.nsw.gov.au. Late last year, Council voted to progress the design of Church Street North Café Precinct in keeping with the principles of the Bellingen Town Centre Beautification Project. The requested interactive play space in Church Street North Café Precinct will not go ahead as reflected in the most current community engagement process. Additional consultation with Church Street businesses and interested community members to discuss the final design and street furniture arrangements for the Church Street North Precinct will be ongoing throughout this phase of the project.
