Monaro Street Upgrade

The redevelopment of Monaro Street is the third stage in Council's Queanbeyan CBD Spatial Master Plan and aims to improve the amenity of the street for residents, visitors and local businesses.

We recently sought comments on the concept designs for the upgrade. Comments closed Sunday 15 August 2021.

You can download the consultation report that was presented to Council in September 2021 from the document list to the right of the page.

Footpaths will be refurbished with new paving, lighting, greenery and seating. Where possible, footpaths will be widened to provide additional space and accessibility for pedestrians. The proposed introduction of a 40kph zone and reduction in kerb height will provide greater safety and comfort for all road users.

The project will include vital infrastructure work below ground, such as improving drainage and realigning utilities. A new road surface will be installed to reduce traffic noise along the street.

The proposed designs include the area of Monaro Street between Lowe Street and Collett Street however construction will take place only on the section of Monaro Street between Lowe and Crawford Street.

One of the goals for the upgrade of Monaro Street is to improve accessibility for the whole community. An independent accessibility audit of the proposed designs and the existing street will be undertaken as part of the project.

Construction is expected to start in 2022.
