Bayside Council voted last week to proceed with the $3.6 million Arncliffe Town Centre improvements and accepted the tender from Sydney Civil Pty Ltd for the contract for the public domain works.
"This work will be sympathetic to the locally heritage listed Arncliffe Town Centre that includes significant items such as the Post Office and state heritage listed Arncliffe Station," Bayside mayor Joe Awada said.
The council accepted the tender from company Sydney Civil Pty Ltd to undertake the works for a cost of $3,639,689.
The improvement works include the construction of new high quality footpath pavements, the reconstruction of three existing pedestrian crossings and the construction of a fourth crossing at the end of Queen Street.
The works also include the associated Ausgrid compliant lighting upgrades, construction of new kerbs, pram ramps and drainage infrastructure, new street furniture, features to encourage outdoor dining especially near the station, widening of kerbs in strategic locations to facilitate street tree planting and the upgrade of two small parks.
The project is likely to take 28 weeks, weather permitting, and will be undertaken in a number of stages.
Work is expected to be completed February, 2021.
The funding for the construction works is included in the 2020/21 City Projects Program.
