Council has been told grant announcements will be made early in the new year.
Funding has already been received for stage 3 works at Bridge Street and Council is hoping to align that work with the final work in Church St.
At its November 25 meeting, Council resolved:
- To progress the design of Church Street North Café Precinct in keeping with the principles of the Bellingen Town Centre Beautification Project.
- To not include the requested interactive play space in Church Street North Café Precinct as reflected in the most current community engagement process.
- To seek alternative funding source to support future project construction.
Council will be arranging a meeting with Church Street businesses and interested members of the public in the new year to discuss the final design and street furniture arrangements.
