Kurri Kurri town centre renovation wins council award for excellence in infrastructure
The upgrade of the Kurri Kurri town centre and Col Brown Rotary Park has won the Cessnock City Council an industry award for outstanding infrastructure projects.
The $7 million city centre development transformed the heart of Kurri Kurri into a more accessible, pedestrian friendly and vibrant town centre that supports local businesses while enriching the experience of residents and visitors.
The project included upgrades to the commercial centre public domain, landscaping, footpaths and paving, pedestrian crossings, street furniture, lighting, line marking, street tree planting and signage.
"This award is a testament to our dedication in delivering impactful infrastructure that meets community needs and ensures long-term benefits," Cessnock mayor Daniel Watton said in a statement.
Local Government Professionals Australia Excellence Awards noted the transformation of Col Brown Rotary Park, crafted in collaboration with local historians, community groups and artists.
The council said in a statement on Friday that the award category was for projects over $1.5 million within the 50,000 to 150,000 population category, and that the revitalisation project paid homage to the town's veterans and its mining history.
"This achievement was made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of council teams, local business, contractors and funding support from the NSW Government's Restart NSW Resources for Regions Fund and the Australian Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program," Cr Watton said.
In other recognition for Hunter councils, City of Newcastle took home the award for cities with populations over 150,000 and Lake Macquarie City Council received a highly commended award in the same category.
