Town Centre Revitalisation Masterplan (Closed)


Town centres are the physical, economic, social and cultural hearts of their communities. They are important places for local business and play a crucial role in community connection and neighbourhood character. Revitalisation of a town centre is the planned process of implementing initiatives within a central location that support thriving communities.

An upgrade of the Boddington Town Centre was identified as a key priority during community consultation for the development of the Council Plan 2022-2032.

The need for the upgrade is driven by factors including:

  • Ageing infrastructure ‐ including seating, footpaths, kerbs and landscaping
  • The desire to increase tourism activity
  • Car parking accessibility
  • The project will consider priority areas for improvement such as:
  • New and upgraded footpaths
  • New streetscape furniture including seats, signs, public art and bins; and
  • Additional landscaping, including more or replacement street trees.

The total project cost, including significant elements such as undergrounding of power, is $6,612,499. The project will be progressed in logical stages as funding becomes available.

It is likely that project will be staged over 4 years, from 2023/24 to 2027/28.
