Response to the Fleurieu Sun.
- The journalist asked for any comments regarding a project to upgrade part of Main Road, McLaren Vale.
Comments attributed to Mayor Moira Were
We’re so lucky to have a world-renowned wine region right here on our doorstep, and this streetscape upgrade is about encouraging people to stop, spend and linger even longer when they’re in its Main Street.
The elements of the draft concept plan have been designed to surprise and delight visitors while also creating a street that’s colourful, appealing and comfortable; providing shade and greenery; and complementing the heritage values and character of the area. It’ll also help stimulate McLaren Vale’s night-time economy by using subtle decorative lighting.
We’re grateful for the collaboration with the community, visitors and the McLaren Vale Business and Tourism Association to date, and I encourage everyone to now view the concept plan at our Your Say page or at the Wednesday 24 April public meeting and let us know what you think.
How people can have their say
You can see the draft concept plan and provide your feedback at the council’s Your Say page by Monday 6 May.
You can also attending a community information session at the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre from 6:30pm to 8pm on Wednesday 24 April (RSVP online by Sunday 21 April).
