About Stage Four
Stage Four of the Victor Harbor Mainstreet Precinct Upgrade will see the revitalisation of the southern end of Ocean Street and Albert Place in Victor Harbor's town centre.
It will continue similar streetscape improvements as previous stages and focus on improved pedestrian usability, street greening and enhancing the overall appearance to create a cosmopolitan space locals and visitors.
The design will see the widening of footpaths, increased alfresco dining opportunities, public seating, public art, along with more street trees and garden beds.
This project will deliver a memorable destination that will stimulate business growth and boost the visitor economy within Victor Harbor and the Southern Fleurieu region. Importantly, this project will connect the town centre’s southern gateway and tourism hub to significant state renowned and iconic tourist attractions – Granite Island, the Horse Drawn Tram and regional festivals/events space, Warland Reserve.
This project will have a positive and direct impact on the long-term sustainability of 50-60 retail and tourism businesses, delivering space for the biggest congregation of outdoor dining in the Southern Fleurieu Region. It will generate vibrancy in the main street, attracting social and cultural opportunities to entertain crowds of diners, creating a festive atmosphere and will fast track new investment opportunities in the town.
Council secured $3.3 million through the SA Government's Local Government Infrastructure Program to assist with the delivery of the project. Early works are set to commence at the end of May 2022.
