Malanda main street works near completion
THE Malanda’s main street works have been progressing well with the $455,000 project on schedule to be completed in the coming weeks.
English Street is set for new asphalt, pedestrian and safety improvements, landscaping and, most importantly, more parking spaces.
When completed residents and visitors will have nearly 30 parking bays slanted at a 45-degree angle.
Malanda Chamber of Commerce president Jeanette Suffield said that the works would set English Street up for more development and improvements in years to come.
“These works are welcomed both by the chamber and the businesses along English Street,” she said.
“There were lots of community consultation and the business were well informed throughout the process.
“Many of the English Street businesses are currently on the sub-committee for the makeover.”
The street is set to be fully reopened at the end of the week with line marking to occur after the fresh asphalt as settled.
