Streetscape Planning Underway for Tintinara, Coonalpyn and Tailem Bend
Streetscape planning is underway for the townships of Tintinara, Coonalpyn and Tailem Bend within the Coorong District Council.
Following consultation undertaken in 2022, conceptual plans have been developed and will be used to spark further inspiration, input, comments and feedback from the community. Residents and ratepayers across the district are encouraged to help guide the Council on how they would like the three town’s streetscapes to look, feel and function.
Developing the main streets will enhance community character and town pride and provide opportunity to improve essential infrastructure requirements and increase community connectivity.
“Greening our communities came through as a strong theme when Council undertook it’s community consultation for the Community Vision Plan in late 2019, as did enhancements to town amenity, comfort and improved character,” says Coorong District Council’s Mayor Paul Simmons.
“The community has asked for improved streetscapes, town entry statements and greener communities, and now we are delivering on that through the development of some high-level master planning,” says Mayor Simmons.
“This planning will capture the communities’ streetscape aspirations and guide the Council’s direction in this space.”
The streetscape master plan will be a dynamic long-term plan that provides a vision and framework for how an area can grow and develop. The five key principles in focus are:
- Improve Connectivity and Integration
- Create Greener Streets
- Celebrate Place: Express the Local Character
- Improve Economic Sustainability
- Enhance Amenity, Comfort, and Aesthetics
Conceptual plans for the three towns have been developed which capture the five themes, and members of the public are invited to share their thoughts and ideas to help guide the direction of finalising plans for development.
Copies of the draft plans are available to view on Coorong District Council’s website and at each Council office (Tintinara, Tailem Bend and Meningie) and the Coonalpyn Community Hub.
