Emerald Town Centre Revitalisation
“The Town Centre Revitalisation project is to attract more people back to
the Town. The attractive environment of the new Centre will attract them, as
well as the vibrant mix of businesses, the expression of the culture and
heritage and the provision of entertainment and community uses. The
development will provide an enhanced pedestrian network with upgraded Town
Centre intersections to improve safety, circulation, connections and create
nodes for people to gather. Advanced tree planting and shelters along
footpaths will provide shade from the sun during the hot summer months.
Successful linkages are to be provided within the Town Centre, to
successfully “stitch” the Centre to the remainder of the Town. This will
include pedestrian, cycle and vehicular connections at the intersection of
Egerton Street and Hospital Road. The historical elements of the town, in
particular the train station, will be preserved and highlighted with direct
links to civic spaces within the town centre. The Master Plan is to
acknowledge and respect the significance of the existing memorials in the
Town and create an improved setting for important events such as Anzac Day.”
