Town plaza plan for Beaufort Street

A TOWN plaza and parklets are coming to Beaufort Street as part of Stirling Council plans to improve the area.

The City is developing a plan for a town plaza in the City-owned carpark on the western side of Beaufort, just north of Walcott Street, and will also spend $100,000 to plant trees in the median and at the front of private properties where landowners consent.

Councillor Suzanne Migdale sought the ‘greening’ of Beaufort Street at the July 2 council meeting in an effort to expedite implementation of the Mt Lawley Streetscape Study, which is expected to be finalised in August, because she said the community was frustrated by perceived inaction.
