Singleton Main Street Upgrade
Location: Singleton, NSW
Project Description:
In October 2013, the NSW Government awarded a $9 million grant to Singleton Council for the revitalisation of the Singleton Town Centre under the Resources for Regions program. Council had already committed $2 million to the project to commence planning and design.
Stage one of the project extends down John St from Hunter St to Gowrie St and combines civil, electrical, architectural, landscaping and mechanical elements.
Products Supplied:
Entire Concrete supplied all the concrete and the 43m boom pump for the complete job.
Work includes:
- Extending footpath areas and introducing new pavement and the introduction of raised pedestrian crossings.
- New garden beds and rain gardens will be established with more than 70 new trees and 2000 plants, using state of the art watering systems that use stormwater.
- Modern street furniture, including more than 60 new benches, drinking fountains, and bike racks will also be installed.
- The street lights will be upgraded by removing the existing street lights and replacing them with modern LED type lights as well as adding dedicated lighting to the footpaths in awning areas.
- The speed limit for a section of John St will be reduced to 40km/h and dedicated parking including spaces for people with disabilities will be provided.
- Selected sections of the John St road pavement will be improved following detailed geotechnical investigations undertaken earlier this year.
- Wayfinding signage, including maps of the town centre, will be introduced to assist motorists and pedestrians with getting to their desired location.
