We are excited to present the concept plan for the streetscape upgrade to Main Road McLaren Vale as part of a tourism hub in the iconic McLaren Vale township.

The streetscape project has evolved out of the McLaren Vale Main Street Tourism Vision, with an objective to have people stop and linger in the street. The vision identified the McLaren Vale tourism hub as being a section of Main Road between McLaren Vale Hotel to Hewitt Drive, the area accommodating a number of historic buildings and tourist focused businesses.

This vision was developed in collaboration with the community and visitors. When helping us to shape this vision, we heard that in order to be a growing destination the street needed:

• outdoor dining opportunities
• public art
• improved and increased greenery
• arbours
• decorative lighting

The draft McLaren Vale Main Road Concept Plan has been designed to address the tourism vision and community feedback by:

• establishing arbours along the street as shade refuges
• uplighting several built and landscaped street features
• installing visually dynamic and interactive elements to encourage people to stop and linger in the street
• extending the public realm to provide additional seating and landscaping
• improving and increasing greenery through gardens beds and additional street trees

We are now asking the community to share their thoughts on the draft McLaren Vale Main Road Concept Plan.

Council wish to invite you to an information session on the project on Wednesday, 24 April 2024 at the McLaren Vale Visitor Information Centre (Conference Room) from 6.30pm to 8.00pm.
