Bellingen

Bellingen, New South Wales, Australia

Bellingen’s main street, Hyde Street, is an important spine for the central business activity of Bellingen. It provides an important link to the major establishments and business developments in town. The new design by LA3 enhances this link by significantly increasing pedestrian comfort and addresses safety issues by providing a more pleasant streetscape environment.

Our proposed design transforms Bellingen Main Street into a public pedestrian space whilst maintaining traffic flows that emphasise connectivity between the surrounding shops, links to community facilities and the creation of social areas. The design process involved preparation of a site analysis report, conceptual design, liaison with community groups and then the development of design options based on feedback from such community consultations.
The construction of this new streetscape is currently underway.
