Scarr Street Revitalisation Project (CBD Upgrade)
Project Description
Cloncurry Shire Council is undertaking a streetscape master planning exercise focusing on the town centre, anchored by Scarr and Ramsay Streets, and as part of a broader project including both a utilities upgrade in the town centre and entry statements on the highway east and west. This town centre upgrade is a once-in-a-generation project that will help define the character of the town centre for the community for decades to come. Council has progressed to a revised concept design for the Cloncurry town centre streetscape. Council aims to effectively engage with the community to reach a coherent, iconic, practical, constructable and maintainable outcome which can become the basis of a template for the redevelopment of the broader town.
Key Features
- Streetscape beautification
- Enhance connectivity from John Flynn Place, Florence Clark Park, and the town centre precinct

Project Status
The focus of the project now shifts to preparing for the final community engagements, ensuring that stakeholders have the opportunity to provide feedback on the refined design. Concurrently, critical discussions are underway regarding the construction methodologies, staging, and funding to ensure the project's feasibility and successful implementation.
Progress Updates
August 2024
The conceptual design process has reached its final stage, with Council and the design consultants having incorporated all necessary revisions.
June 2024
To further refine the conceptual design, a supplementary cadastral survey was conducted. This aided the team in advancing the design process for services, footpaths, and pavement. Additionally, Council and Telstra assessed the condition of communication pits and lids. Subsequently, Align Consulting Engineers presented the second iteration of the conceptual design to Council. Feedback was received, with the aim to finalise the conceptual design in July.
March 2024
A photogrammetry survey was conducted along Scarr Street. This survey involved taking detailed photographs from various angles to create a precise 3D model of the street and its surroundings. The resulting data was used by consultants to inform and enhance the design process of the project.
February 2024
Council appoints Align Consulting Engineers to further develop the design of the Scarr Street project. This development includes moving from the conceptual stage to the level of detailed design and documentation. It is anticipated that the consultants would finish the entire design and documentation package by the end of the year (2024).
October 2023
Surveying works finalised and project managers progressed with services, pavement and traffic concept design and scoping. Stakeholder engagement with Cloncurry Local Business Network. A project program was drafted, accounting for two stages of works.

Request for Quotation documentation developed for the engineering design, including traffic swept paths and utilities.
March 2022
Community consultation on the Scarr Street Revisitation Project.
