Queanbeyan CBD Spatial Master Plan

The 2019 Queanbeyan CBD Spatial Master Plan sets out a vision for a contemporary city with a country heart. The Plan considers the challenges that the Queanbeyan CBD currently faces and proposes solutions over a ten year period of transformation.

Developing the plan has relied heavily on community consultation undertaken between 2017 and 2019. We are looking forward to hearing your views on the refreshed 2019 Spatial Master Plan. Take a look at the documents in the library on the right and make your comments below.

The first three stages of the redevelopment of the CBD are included in Council’s Delivery Program 2018-21. Stage 1 work has begun, with the extension of the river walk continuing via a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the river coming soon, smart city infrastructure being installed and the refurbishment of the Riverside Caravan Park commencing shortly.

Stage 2 includes the redevelopment of the Council Head Office and Smart Hub and construction of public domain. Stage 3 is the development of a decked car park in the Morisset car park along with the beautification and improvement of laneway connections. Stages 4-6 include the refurbishment of Monaro St, mixed use redevelopments, smart public spaces, widening and refurbishment of footpaths, and decked car park in the Crawford car park.

The Plan considers potential Council and private developments; pedestrian and cyclist connections; streetscape improvements; traffic flow; activation of laneways; constructing public domain spaces; links between the CBD, river and park space; and consolidating parking into decked car parks.

The updated plan relies on a considerable body of previous work, including the Queanbeyan Car Parking Strategy, the Queanbeyan Retail Growth Strategy, the Digital Economy and Smart Community Strategy and the CBD Transformation Strategy.
