Thank you to everyone who completed the survey online or attended a community-based pop-up to share your feedback and ideas for future upgrades at The Boulevard Streetscape in Thomastown.

We reached out to the community to understand your priorities, and we heard you. The feedback emphasised the desire for a well-maintained space with more trees for shading as well as the importance of improving safety for pedestrians, vehicles or visitors in The Boulevard Streetscape in Thomastown.

With consideration to your valuable feedback, Council has developed a concept plan. The plan includes the following:

• A wider footpath in front of the shops, allowing more trading spaces and safer movement for visitors and residents
• New public garbage bins positioned away from the main entrances of shops
• The addition of 14 large trees and 8 garden beds
• Safer, accessible 90-degree on-street parking bays from both directions
• Reduced street lane widths by narrowing the right-of-way into The Boulevard
• Three raised pedestrian crossings for enhanced safety
• Increased lighting to improve safety.

Check out the concept plan in the concept hot spot map below. All recommendations are subject to funding.
