Inglewood Streetscape Development Project Update

Published on 17 April 2025

The Inglewood Streetscape Project aims to enhance the visual appeal, functionality, safety, and cultural significance of the streetscape in Inglewood.

The project will consider various elements including beautification, kerb and channel improvements, footpaths, greening initiatives, pedestrian safety enhancements, overall amenity improvement, place-making to support retail business and the visitor experience, as well as the integration of public art and heritage walking trails.

In February 2025, key elements of the streetscape draft design were shared with the project’s Community Advisory Group and the Inglewood Development and Tourism Committee.

The streetscape design team continue to consider feedback from the project team and are currently preparing updated designs and renders for the entire project scope, for circulation to stakeholders and for display on Council’s website.

‘Council staff are now preparing an application to the Federal Government, seeking funds to deliver the project’ said Loddon Shire Council’s Acting Director Operations David Stretch.

‘Staff are currently preparing a Quantity Surveyor Report and business case to support the funding application, which we expect to submit in May 2025.’

‘The project team will initially focus on the ‘old service station’ site at the eastern entrance to the town and will commence work before the end of April to remove the existing structure on the site, remediate the property in preparation for works to develop the site, as part of the initial stage of the streetscape redevelopment project’.

Council has obtained permits to remove the existing building on site and expects associated works to commence before the end of April 2025.
