Koondrook CBD works resume

Published on 07 May 2019

Stage 2 of the Koondrook CBD redevelopment will resume later this week.

Works to rejuvenate the area along Main Street between Keene and Station streets began in late February, with the area re-opened to traffic in mid-April.

“Main Street re-opened to traffic during the Easter holiday period, giving residents and visitors an opportunity to experience the works completed so far,” Mayor Lorraine Learmonth.

“For the completion of this project to occur, Main Street will close between Keene and Stations Streets to enable the road surface to be resealed.

“Stage 2 of the CBD redevelopment is part of a larger plan to connect the Koondrook Nature Based Tourism Hub to the township.”

Residents and visitors to Koondrook are advised that the Tramway Place entrance road to the Koondrook boat ramp will be closed due to the works. Those wanting to access the ramp will need to travel via Keene Street and Gunbower Parade, adjacent to the Koondrook Caravan Park.

Arbuthnot Street will remain open during the works, with both Apex Park and the Koondrook Wharf unaffected.

It is anticipated the road will re-open to the public in June 2019.

“Council thanks the community for its patience as these works occur,” Mayor Learmonth said.

The Koondrook CBD upgrade is being made possible thanks to funding from the Regional Roads Victoria Fixing Country Roads program.
