Scope of Works

The Kurri Kurri Town Centre Upgrade involved a significant investment in enhancing the commercial centre along Lang Street, Kurri Kurri, between Alexandra Street and Merthyr Street. The $5.6 million project focused on upgrading the public domain, improving the aesthetic appeal, and providing vital infrastructure to support the economic growth of the town centre.

Key improvements include:

  • Street tree planting and landscaping
  • New footpaths/paving
  • Pedestrian crossings
  • Street furniture
  • Upgraded lighting
  • Line marking and signage
  • Minor pavement repairs and resurfacing

The project was delivered in multiple stages to minimise disruption to local businesses and residents, ensuring pedestrian access was maintained throughout construction.
