We have completed the $2.1 million transformation of the Kew town centre, delivering a more modern and accessible main street for businesses, tourists and residents alike. An official opening was held on 10th October 2023.
The project, which received an $800,000 grant through the Australian Government, $400,000 from Round Five of the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund and $200,000 from Transport for NSW - Centre for Road Safety, also included the reconstruction of the main Ocean Drive/Nancy Bird Walton Drive and Kendall Road roundabout, landscaping, kerb and guttering.
Following previous community engagement, our contractor designers – Hatch (Formerly Lindsay Dynan Pty Ltd) completed a detailed design based on the feedback received from the community.
We understand that the community waited for this project for a number of years, and unfortunately, due to natural disasters, COVID-19 and subsequent labour shortages and the rise in material costs, this project was significantly delayed. The final design is a reflection of these ongoing challenges.
Eire Constructions were awarded the tender for the upgrade and construction commenced in January 2023. All construction works are complete including water main upgrades, construction of the concrete footpath, stone stacked walls and landscaping.
