The City of Whittlesea is planning to upgrade the public area including some council land near Coulstock Street and the surrounding Precinct in line with the vision set by Council’s Epping Central Structure Plan and the State Government’s Activity Centre Program.

Coulstock Street and nearby areas have been identified as key sites for improvement in providing services for the community, as well as retail and commercial opportunities to accommodate and respond to the needs of a growing and changing population. These areas offer an important opportunity to make better use of Council-owned land and improve safety, streetscape, and access for the community.

The place plan will include upgrades to the public realm to improve access and safety, and to create a greener and inviting space for the current and future community to shop and spend time with family and friends.

As well as establishing a Community Reference Group we will be conducting broad community consultation. This will help us identify any opportunities or constraints within the precinct and inform the draft precinct plan.

The draft precinct plan will be presented to community in phase 2 for further feedback before being revised by the Community Reference Group and then finalising the plan.

All action within the plan will be subject to funding.
