Collinsville Main Street Beautification Underway

Collinsville will be having a facelift, with the Choose Collinsville upgrade works, by the Whitsunday Regional Council commencing last week on July 17.

The upgrade will bring the Collinsville Main Street up to the same calibre as Bowen, Proserpine, and Airlie Beach, with staged works planned to renew and revitalise the street.

The proposed upgrades include:

- New irrigated garden beds, with a mixture of plants and larger shade trees

- Disabled car parks in strategic locations along the street

- New street furniture, such as bench seats, bollards, and bin shelters

- New asphalt and re-seal, line marking and street print at entrances

Aside from temporary road closures due to asphalt laying, there is expected to minimal disruption to usual business.

The entire upgrade is scheduled to be complete by late August.

The works have been funded by the Australian Governments Building Better Regions Fund.

Future plans for Collinsville town upgrades include entry statements at town entrances, enhancements to Sonoma Street, Conway Street and Main Street, as well as additional landscaping and planting shade trees.
