The new look Two Wells
A guide to the potential layout of the Two Wells town centre project has been endorsed with option four gaining approval from six councillors to be approved by District Council of Mallala (DCM). The design features an open air market place, pedestrian/cycle path to connect the town, commercial outlets such as Target and Foodland, sufficient car parking, integrated bus interchange and a roundabout.
BRONTE HEWETT reports:
The plan also includes community open space and designated areas for future development. This design “provides a consolidated urban form for the town centre, with better inter connectivity from the historic wells to the main street and establishes a green belt area

Minor modifications were made to car parking layout and the inclusion of an area to accommodate the potential for a bus interchange in the town centre. n Continued Page 3
