Upgrades are on the way for Evatt, Lanyon, and Calwell local shops.
The ACT Government is continuing to invest in local shop upgrades across Canberra.
Residents of Evatt, Lanyon and Calwell can now have their say on the preliminary designs of their local shops. Upgrades have been focused on safety and access, with additional improvements included to encourage Canberrans to spend more time in their suburbs and shop local.
Evatt
- The shops on Heydon Place will receive safety and access improvements including upgraded paths, crossings, and accessible parking bays.
- New art murals, tables and seating are proposed, as well as designs for play elements, which may include a new nest swing, balancing logs, and steppers.
Lanyon Marketplace
- The intersection of Balcombe and Sidney Nolan streets is proposed to be raised with a new pedestrian crossing to slow vehicles and improve pedestrian safety.
- The Box Hill Avenue underpass will also be upgraded with improved stairway access, an art mural and new lighting to improve safety.
- Other improvements may include a new shade structure at the skate park, better landscaping, and new seating to provide spaces to sit and gather.
Calwell Group Centre
- Proposed playground nature and accessible play improvements include a slide, steppers and new shade structure.
