Goodwood Main Street Upgrade
Consultation has concluded
Goodwood Main Street will be undergoing a planned streetscape transformation in 2016, and we want you to be involved!
The 2009 Goodwood Precinct Urban Design Framework (UDF) was developed with the local community to identify a range of opportunities to improve the usability, function, character and sustainability of the village. Over the last 5 years Council has worked with government agencies and through local partnerships to implement a range of actions identified in the UDF.
The under-grounding of the powerlines between the tramline and Victoria Street was a long term recommendation that will commence in late 2015. These engineering works provide Council with an opportunity to review the existing condition of Goodwood Main Street with local businesses and the community to plan a new future for the precinct.
The Community Forum was the first step in working with local businesses and the community to improve the presentation and appeal of Goodwood Road. The Concept Plans now available for review reflects feedback from the community during April 2015 regarding the range of opportunities to improve the usability, function, character and sustainability of the village.
As the design develops we will keep coming back to the community to ensure the concept reflects the aims of the community and the ‘alive and vibrant’ identity of Goodwood Road.

The Concept Design for Goodwood Main Street is now available for review, and we want you to be involved!. We want the community to be central to the design process leading to a streetscape transformation in 2016.
The under-grounding of the power-lines between the tramline and Victoria Street will commence in late 2015 and provides Council with an opportunity to improve the presentation and appeal of Goodwood Main Street.
The concept design responds to the 2009 Goodwood Precinct Urban Design Framework (UDF) as well as feedback provided by the community during April 2015 regarding the range of opportunities to improve the usability, function, character and sustainability of the village.
From the Community Forum, drop in sessions and online surveys under taken in April, Council received over 100 responses that have been used to inform the design direction. The concept reflects the community's support for the opportunity to undertake a 'Streetscape upgrade and improvements to the pedestrian environment'.
In particular, the community told us the upgrade should:
- Improve the condition and appearance of paving, to achieve a more open pedestrian setting appropriate to Goodwood's character
- Improve the quality of lighting along the road and footpaths, as well as maximise opportunities for greater feature lighting of facades and art pieces
- Increase landscaping/greening across the precinct to improve shade, amenity and influence local speed and road noise
- Improve the quality of furniture along the street, integrating art into the design and ensuring appropriate locations to avoid the clutter of narrow footpath (including cycle facilities)
We want to know what local businesses and the local community think of the streetscape concepts. The Concept Design and survey is now available:

Community Forum feedback
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkCouncil has recently sought community feedback on the original 2009 Urban Design Framework for Goodwood Main Street Precinct. During the 7-11 April, staff hosted daily drop-in sessions on the street, as well as held a community forum on Wednesday 8th April.
These sessions allowed the community to review and provide feedback on the strategic directions of the original document, assess the benefits of the works completed since 2009 (UDF recommendations) and to give Council an understanding of the community’s values and perceptions towards Goodwood in 2015. This has established a shared understanding to be reflected in design proposals that seek solutions to the issues and opportunities identified.
Design ideas will be developed and presented to the community to be tested in an open and iterative process. This is anticipated to occur during May and June, leading to presenting a final design in July.
Thank you to all those who stopped by during the week and shared their ideas, as well as those who took the time to attend the forum or to complete the online surveys.
A summary of feedback received from the community is now available. It can be accessed via the Document Library tab.
The Community Survey will remain open until 5pm 1st May, 2015.
