This project incorporates a ‘stop element’ (visual cue installation) which gets the attention of passersby, and creates a more enjoyable streetscape with improved landscaping, shade and lighting and increased outdoor dining opportunities and seating options.

These actions promote a tourism precinct along Main Road McLaren Vale, where visitors will linger at a point that showcases the region and encourages them to spend at local businesses in the area.

The project is focused on a section of the main street identified through earlier visitor and community engagement as having the strongest tourism potential, enlivening Main Road McLaren Vale as an attractive destination and unlocking the economic potential of the visitor economy.

The key objective of this work is to revitalise and activate the economic potential of the main street, with progress to be made in phases as opportunities arise. We will continue to collaborate with the McLaren Vale Business and Tourism Association to achieve this shared vision.

Council is in the final stages of preparing design documentation for the streetscape project. Once completed, this will allow us to move forward with tendering and appointing a preferred contractor, preferably before the end of the year. We look forward to sharing further updates with you in 2025.
