This consultation has concluded. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will no longer accept new comments or votes.

On 7 July Council adopted a concept plan for major improvements to the Singleton CBD Streetscape. Before any further investigation or design work is carried out on this project Council resolved to undertake an extensive consultation process with the community.

The cost of works for the project as envisaged in the concept plan will be in the vicinity of $6.68 million. The plan proposes a new vision for the CBD of Singleton that will make the CBD a place of vibrancy and positive social interaction for the local community and visitors to Singleton for many years to come. It aims to encourage growth and sustainability of business activity within the area.

All members of the community are encouraged to participate in the consultation process.
