We're moving forward with improvements to Barkly Village along Barkly Street in West Footscray and creating a permanent park at Clarke Street to meet community needs.
Informed by more than 500 comments received during engagement with local residents in July 2022, Council has further refined the Streetscape Improvement Plan for Barkly Village.
Following engagement with local residents the following were incorporated:
The improved streetscape will also encourage slower traffic movement and provide additional space for pedestrians and foliage. The refinements reflect the top priorities identified during engagement by residents for greenery and trees, safer walking, sections of protected bike lanes, and places to sit and relax.
The design for the permanent Clarke Street Park also incorporates a larger park area, and additional trees and seating, as sought by the community during engagement in December 2022.
You can view the Barkly Streetscape Improvement Plan and Clarke Street Park design on Council's community engagement platform, Your City Your Voice.
An assessment of the feedback received is now being assessed. For further information email cd@maribyrnong.vic.gov.au or phone our Urban Design department on (03) 9688 0200.
