C-26-204 Glenorchy Town Centre Improvements

As part of the LCLR Minor Works Programme, a series of minor safety improvements are proposed for implementation in Glenorchy Town Centre. The proposed works are to improve the users experience and safety while using the network. This work is part of an overall 3 year programme of improvements throughout the district which are due for completion prior to 30 June 2027.
The works identified are the highest priority following consultation with the local community and are expected to be delivered prior to the busier summer tourist months.
The works within the contract include:
- New gravel footpath along the eastern side of Oban Street
- Safety improvements including a new zebra crossing at the intersection of Oban Street and Cantire Street near the Glenorchy Primary School/Mrs Wooly’s
- Signage and markings associated with parking improvements on Mull Street, Oban Street, Benmore Place and Argyle Street
- Provision for bus drop off/parking on Argyle Street
The order that works are complete will be up to the Contractor but it is expected that the majority can be completed in the winter months/early spring with only some sealing works needing to wait until the sealing season commences in mid September.
