Project updates


Project details

What is this project about?

Council’s Main Streets Program aims to improve the vibrancy and safety of public spaces and local streets by improving their character and making them more inviting.

Re-imagining the use of public spaces and regenerating them can enhance the lives of the community and assist economic growth by providing settings to attract visitation and local spend and creating places to go to, not move through.

As a part of the Main Streets Program, Council has developed concept plans for improvements to Hancock Lane in Rozelle.


Where is Hancock Lane?

The project is located adjacent to Darling Street, one approximately 50 metres south west of Victoria Road.
