Junction Court Upgrade - Project Update

Shoalhaven City Council commences improvement works on Monday 11 October 2021 to make the Junction Court area more pedestrian-oriented. The works have been funded by the NSW State Government’s Your High Street grant program.

Council’s Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy Committee endorsed the project following several months of design development.

The concept for the upgrade, which features a ground mural over the paths and street, was prepared by landscape consultant Place Score, in consultation with Council’s staff and the Nowra CBD Revitalisation Strategy Committee and input from local business owners.

Key elements of the project include improving the look and feel of the precinct, improving pedestrian comfort and safety along with shading and seating installation and children play and activity areas.

On Monday 11 October Junction Court will be closed to vehicle traffic to allow construction safety fence to be installed prior to work commencing.

Most of the construction work will be undertaken by Council’s own construction crews, supplemented by specialist sub-contractors as required. The area will remain closed to traffic until the work is completed by Friday 10 December 2021.

Whilst pedestrian access will be maintained though the duration of construction, pedestrian will still need to take care in the vicinity of the works and abide by signage and the instruction of construction staff.

Take a look at the Pedestrian Management Plan published in the Document Library on this web page.
