Plans for Stage Three of the Victor Harbor Mainstreet Precinct underway

While construction works are set to commence on Stage 2 of the Victor Harbor Mainstreet Precinct Upgrade in May, Council is already planning for Stage 3.

Stage 3 of the Victor Harbor Mainstreet Precinct Upgrade will see the eastern side of Coral Street upgraded from the Ocean Street intersection right down to the foreshore.

The design themes and materials used within the first two stages of the upgrade will be carried through Coral Street to create a vibrant public space while maintaining vehicular access and increasing pedestrian and cyclist safety and connectivity.

Whilst the design continues to draw on the Southern Right Whale as inspiration with unique references to the majestic creatures found in the garden beds and landscaping treatments, it is intended for the design to gradually change and transform as it approaches the foreshore area.

The design also works to further highlight the heritage character of the Precinct and railway infrastructure by widening footpaths and creating more space and higher amenity around the numerous buildings along the street and into Soldiers Memorial Gardens.

The foreshore area at the end of Coral Street will become a feature with the inclusion of a stepped amphitheatre that provides both seating and pathways, leading to a small boardwalk and steps,  providing more of a connection with our beach. It will also turn an underutilized space on our foreshore into a multi-functional space for festivals and events.
