At last Tuesday’s meeting,
Council moved to declare a Special Charge Scheme to support the construction
and sealing of a 105 metre section of Newcombe Street, between Princess Street
and The Glen in Drysdale.
The proposed
works aim to enhance local access and amenity in response to concerns raised by
nearby residents.
The total
estimated cost of the project is $132,768.00, with Council
committing $38,724.00 (29 per cent) of the funding. The
remaining $94,044.00 (71 per cent) would be contributed by the owners
of 10 properties that directly benefit from the improvements.
The scheme would
apply for a period of five years from the date it is levied.

Under this scheme, the user
experience and livability of Newcombe Street will be improved.
These improvements will make
a real difference for the residents who use the road every day.
