Consultation has now concluded

The Monaro Lanes project proposes upgraded paving, increased lighting, greenery, seating, and dedicated public art. We are seeking the community's feedback on what kind of laneway improvements are most important to you.

We are also looking for people who may have a particular historical connection to the blacksmiths and wheelwrights that worked in the area and for artists that may be interested in contributing to the outdoor art gallery proposed for No Name Lane.

The concept images show the recommendations from the 2019 Queanbeyan CBD Place Plan. The overall identity and theme for each lane will remain although there may be some changes as the designs are finalised.

Background

In early 2021, the QPRC Placemaking team applied for funding to upgrade two Monaro Street Laneways: Blacksmiths Lane and No Name Lane.

Taking recommendations and concepts outlined in the adopted 2019 Queanbeyan CBD Place Plan, the team developed these ideas and consulted with key landlords, business owners and laneway users.

Council was successful in securing $505,701 in funding from the NSW Government's Your High Street program to improve safety, amenity and functionality within these key pedestrian spaces. Your High Street grant program is for councils to support local business recovery, provide economic stimulus, and improve community safety and comfort.

This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.
