Liveability Project - Revitalising Our Town Centres

WINDSOR LIVEABILITY PROJECT
The Western Parkland City Liveability Program is a key commitment of the Western Sydney City Deal. The City Deals Liveability Program was established to enable each Council to implement a project to provide infrastructure improvements that will improve the built and natural environments and enable economic and social prosperity. In September 2018, under this Program, Council resolved to undertake town centre improvements in Richmond, South Windsor and Windsor.
This work is a foundation piece aimed at revitalising our public spaces to support and create economic development and social interaction within each centre. The public domain works aim to address the Hawkesbury’s underperforming town centres by undertaking public space rejuvenation, leveraging the rich historic and natural amenity of the Hawkesbury’s towns and villages.
The $18.75 million project is enhancing the town centres of Richmond, South Windsor and Windsor and will include new feature paving, street furniture, garden beds and lighting in these three popular centres, as well as pedestrian safety and accessibility upgrades.
We will also be planting more than 300 mature trees along the roadways to form three green boulevards in these major centres, improving the visual and environmental amenity of these towns and helping combat urban heat. This is thanks to a $1.244 million Greening Our Cities grant from the NSW Government in association with Local Government Association NSW.
