Haley St, Prinsep St and Carmody Place Revitalisation

Project Overview

online community engagement

The City of Bunbury in its City Centre Action Plan sets out the vision to foster growth and revitalise the City Centre.
This vision includes turning the city centre into a network of thriving, attractive streets and laneways that are engaging, inclusive, easily accessible, integrated in design, and celebrate Bunbury’s identity.

What's happening?

The project, which commenced in Spring 2022 provides a new streetscape and road layout to enhance the appeal of the area, make it safer for the community and provide better access to the nearby businesses and shopping precinct.  

Approximately 100 new street trees will be planted during the project, creating a green avenue of trees combined with an understory of Australian plant species supported by a water sensitive urban design. New street furniture added in key locations.  

March 2023 Update

The Roadworks portion of work is now complete, with the area now fully trafficable. Brick Paving to footpaths is largely complete, with some minor sealing works continuing on the paved areas. The reticulation and landscaping will be the next portion of works to be completed, which is likely to occur through May and June.

Enjoy the transformation!

Background

Following feedback from stakeholders and the wider community, the City last year engaged GHD Woodhead to develop a detailed design for the area, with the aim of creating another attractive entrance into the CBD. The designs have now been finalised within the project scope and budget.

The new streetscape and road layout at the intersection of Haley Street, Prisep Street and Carmody Place, will enhance the appeal and attractiveness of the area, whilst also improving functionality of the road and pedestrian network area, making it safer for the community and providing better access to the nearby businesses and shopping precinct.  

This project supports the City’s wider aim to improve Bunbury’s character and identity, to attract current and potential residents as a place to work, live and play. 

The City of Bunbury acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, the Noongar Wardandi people and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
