Cudgewa Streetscape

About the project

The Cudgewa Streetscape project is a priority of the Council Plan 2021 – 2025. It aims to revitalise the heart of Cudgewa while ensuring the heritage value and history of the township remains in place - central to this is the redevelopment of the Avenue of Honour.

Preparatory works for the Avenue of Honour will commence in mid-July with the removal of 12 hazardous elm trees.

These trees were identified for removal following an independent assessment of their viability after the Black Summer fires. Prior to the selection and planting of replacement trees a planning permit will need to be obtained and heritage values considered.

Community members will be invited to share their ideas of species selection and planting configuration as part of the Cudgewa Streetscape consultation scheduled for the coming months.

Directly impacted residents will be contacted in advance of works commencing to ensure access to their property remains. We ask that community members who don’t need to access the area avoid it during this time.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the project manager by calling 1300 365 222 or emailing infrastructure@towong.vic.gov.au.
