Melbourne Street Improvement Works
Project status – Under way
Why are we doing this?
The City of Adelaide has received a $1m grant from the Government of South Australia to undertake main street improvement works and public realm and placemaking upgrades to revitalise Melbourne Street.
These short-term works support early activation of the street and are being delivered ahead of the wider, staged implementation of Council’s Main Street Revitalisation master plan for Melbourne Street.
What are we doing?
Implementation of the master plan is occurring in stages, with initial works focused on short-term activation and amenity improvements.
