City Centre upgraded

WORDS Taylor Harvey

Salisbury’s City Centre is a newly revitalised, vibrant meeting place, home to a number of businesses, eateries and professional services with opportunities for all.

The $10 million Church and John Streets Revitalisation Project includes vastly upgraded streetscape features, public art pieces, street furniture and installation of upgraded Wi-Fi LED lighting.

The project has created a renewed, fresh and vibrant atmosphere that complements the Salisbury Community Hub and the greater City Centre and will be completed within the first quarter of 2023.

The revitalisation will create many benefits, such as making the precinct more visually attractive to encourage future economic

investment as well as improving amenity safety for shoppers, pedestrians, visitors, cycle and vehicle traffic alike.

By creating an open and free-flowing streetscape, there are now more opportunities to utilise the space for recreational activities, events and outdoor dining making it an attractive place to meet.

With open space being created, the precinct still maintains its strong identity, all while showcasing a new, fresh and vibrant look. These additions provide high-quality amenities to residents and traders, while improved paving will make walking along Church and John Streets safer and more comfortable.

A colourful trumpet piece of artwork will be installed.
