As part of its Grenfell Main Street Renewal project, Council is developing a family of street furniture. A number of different design options have been compiled which are currently on public exhibition for community comment.

Under the simple and classic design directives, the new suite of seat and bin enclosure options lend themselves to the heritage context of Grenfell whilst not dominating the streetscape. The designs can be viewed on Council’s Public Exhibition webpage.

Council is encouraging residents and businesses to provide their insight on the furniture family by participating in a short, 3 minute survey accessible with the following URL https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PJJMWT8

Submissions and survey responses will be received up until 5:00pm on Friday 8 October 2021.
