Media release:
The approach into Queanbeyan’s CBD will be enhanced after
Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council endorsed concept designs to upgrade
the landscaping along Bungendore Road between the Queens Bridge and the
Yass Road roundabout.
This project has been funded by the NSW Government’s Stronger Communities Fund.
“Council has been progressively upgrading the approaches into
Queanbeyan. Previous work has included planting the crepe myrtles along
Canberra Ave and replacing the missing pines along Farrer Place as part
of the William Farrer Memorial. The tree plantings on Lanyon Drive and
Yass Road that were done a few years ago are now well advanced and look
great,” Mayor Tim Overall said.
“This funding from the NSW Government in the Stronger Communities
Fund has given us the opportunity to address the approach along
Bungendore Road.
“I am looking forward to seeing this upgrade come to life as we continue to enhance our beautiful city.”
The upgrades will include tree planting from the Yass Road roundabout
continuing past the service stations, the selective removal of cypress
pines due to ill health and for improved sight lines, the removal of
diseased or hazardous eucalypts, landscaping along the Art Gallery
boundary fence, a new entrance feature into the Sister City Park, new
plantings at the Yass Road roundabout, and the construction of improved
footpaths.
Further work to construct kerb and gutter along this whole section of
Bungendore Road will progress as further funds become available.
