Queenstown Town Centre Street Upgrades
Work to transform Brecon Street, Rees Street, Beach Street and Park Street into high quality public spaces that are safe and accessible for everyone, is complete.
The upgrades create more space for people to wander and relax, including a continuous pedestrian link from the Queenstown Gardens to the Gondola.
Quick links
About the project
The upgrades feature improved walking and cycling facilities providing a continuous link from the Queenstown Gardens to the Gondola, bringing parts of the Queenstown Town Centre Masterplan to life.
Designed in line with the Queenstown Town Centre Design Guidelines, the upgraded streets will incorporate high quality materials and weave in local cultural storytelling.
The Street Upgrade programme is supported by funding from the Crown Infrastructure Partners.
Ongoing ‘snagging’ maintenance work
After construction, there’s a 2-year period where we monitor and continue any ongoing maintenance or tweaks to what’s been constructed. We do this to ensure that everything is working as we intended. This is known as ‘snagging’.
It's challenging to provide a detailed programme of timing for 'snagging' work as its being reviewed and amended on a regular basis. We'll keep neighbouring businesses and properties informed of any works that may impact them as the work is confirmed.
Here’s an overview of what's coming up. We'll keep this updated as new items are scheduled. **last updated 18 September 2024.
