Somerset Streetscape Projects

The Somerset Regional Council has partnered with consultants, AECOM, to help bring the Kilcoy Streetscape Revitalisation project to life. This project is about more than just enhancing the look and feel of Kilcoy—it aims to address key issues and create a vibrant, welcoming town center that benefits everyone in the community. A detailed Master Plan has been created (see Attachment), identifying the most important changes needed to support Kilcoy’s growth and appeal.
The Master Plan presents a shared vision for the future of Kilcoy, featuring clear, people-centered improvements. Highlights include creating attractive entry points into town, establishing a new central green space that can serve as Kilcoy’s community heart, and ensuring safe, green pathways to make getting around easy and enjoyable for all.
With this vision in place, the Council, local business owners, and residents can work together to bring these plans to reality step-by-step, achieving prioritized outcomes that enrich Kilcoy’s charm and livability.
**Community Engagement**
Community input has been at the heart of this project. From the beginning, local residents, workers, and business owners have been actively involved in identifying the key challenges and opportunities for Kilcoy’s streetscape. Together, we shaped the vision and refined the Master Plan to reflect our community’s aspirations.
Engagement activities took place from May to September 2023, allowing ample time for residents to learn about the project, ask questions, and ‘Have Their Say’.
A local business, community organisation and community member group has been formed specifically to support the Kilcoy Streetscape Advisory Committee members in relation to the Project. Our community is welcome to attend these group meetings to keep informed of the project milestones. Reach the group via email destinationkilcoy@gmail.com or contact Lee Robinson on m: 0414 418 171
