Castlemaine Streetscape Plan and Design Standards

Council adopted the Castlemaine Streetscape Plan and Design Standards in June 2020 to guide the development of a more attractive and functional commercial centre while working with the historical features of the picturesque 19th century town.

The high-level plan and design standards will guide Council and the community in the strategic management, maintenance and improvement of the streets and public spaces in the central district of this historically and socially significant town.

The streetscape plan will guide a number of improvements including safer street crossings, more street trees and enhancements to public spaces.

The design standards provide detail for streetscape elements such as street furniture, paving materials and crossovers. They also aim to respect the historic features of the town and improve amenity and access across the town centre.
