Introduction


The CBD Revitalisation PlanThe CBD revitalisation plan is a planning and design framework that will help guide future works and ensure that the CBD character is both vibrant and functional. The Revitalisation Plan will re-establish the important role of the CBD, re-invigorate the layout, public spaces, function and character, and will guide Council’s planning and design for staged implementation of improvements.

OVERVIEW

The Waikerie CBD Revitalisation Master Plan for the District Council of Loxton Waikerie will provides strategic direction for realising the full potential of the CBD linking to the Riverfront. A revitalisation and re-energisation of the precinct with people friendly infrastructure will result in increased attraction to the area with locals and visitors enjoying the unique experience that Waikerie has to offer.The CBD Revitalisation Master Plan’s role is to direct and guide a desired future character for the town by influencing the form, identify and style. The intent for the Revitalisation Master Plan is to identify and value the qualities of the CBD, identifying the areas for physical improvement as well as implementation strategies that inform asset planning. The document also provides design guidance and informs service levels across all aspects including pedestrian connections, public infrastructure, visual amenity, carparking,

footpaths, street trees, planting, street furnishings, art and signage.The revitalisation looks to enhance the physical environment through best practice, improved movement and access, integrated street infrastructure and environmental initiatives, recreational and community initiatives, and opportunities for interpretation, art and cultural events + activities.The Revitalisation Master Plan brings together existing fabric, community, tourism and recreational objectives in a logical, dynamic and well-thought out plan that strives to deliver positive community outcomes.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The framework and Master Plan for the revitalisation of the main shopping district within Waikerie facilitates:

• Enhanced ability for people to be retained in the precinct through provision of people focused public infrastructure, plantings and art

• Improved visual amenity of the CBD’s streets and open spaces.

• A distinct and greater pedestrian bias to create connections within the CBD and key town assets such as Riverfront, Australia Post, Hospital, Library, Woolworths, Civic Park, etc.

• Create meeting places/spaces for people.

• Reduction of traffic within the precinct through identification of areas for nearby connected parking

• A precinct that has safer and better access for young, old and mobility impaired using different transport modes like walking, bikes, wheel chair and prams.

• The ability to transform the precinct to conduct festivals and events

• Increased pride and optimism within the trader and local communities through physical change in the CBD environment.

9INTRODUCTION

REVITALISATION PLAN PROCESS

Preparation of the Revitalisation Plan was guided by a process of information sharing and consultation with the Council and the Waikerie CBD Working Group who collectively captured the views and ideas of local businesses and community organisations. The wider Waikerie community’s views were also captured at various periods through an open consultation process. People’s views, issues and interests contributed positively to the development of the Revitalisation Plan.

MASTER PLAN DELIVERY

This Master Plan is the first phase in a strategic program for revitalising the CBD. As a guiding document, it outlines a future based on community input and achievable outcomes. The master plan outlines an over-arching and coordinated vision for the CBD, identifying projects based on priorities identified through the consultation process to assist in determining forward budgets. The master plan does not, purposefully, provide detailed designs for the many projects and programs that will lead the revitalisation of the CBD. These works will occur as funds become available and partnership opportunities are realised. The individual projects described in the Revitalisation Plan will be developed further with community and government agency input.

The CBD Now

Waikerie is located within in the western portion of the Riverland, approximately 80km from Berri and 100km from the Barossa. The Waikerie Central Business District is generally contained within an area bordered by Coombe, Pflaum, Campbell and Crush Terraces and White Street.

Waikerie’s shopping district, primary surrounds McCoy Street (main street), which is situated on the slope of a hill, is encapsulated within 5 streets and is dissected by another with a round about at each end. Due to the lack of people friendly infrastructure and layout, the area is predominately vehicle focussed and its presentation and amenity has outdated resulting in visitors and locals not being retained to enjoy the unique experience that is available from a town located on the River Murray. Many existing trees in the main street are moribund. Whilst the adjacent riverfront precinct boasts a recent upgrade, the connection between it and the CBD is fractured and

therefore full benefit of the well patronised riverfront cannot be obtained by the towns businesses. As a result more than 11 shops and retail outlets have closed over the last 18 months adding to the need to revitalise and re-energise the public realm within the Waikerie CBD.

Community

The ideas and comments from Council, The Waikerie CBD Working Party, key stakeholders and the community have positively contributed to the development of the Revitalisation Plan. Overall there is strong support for the master plan and desire to see the CBD improved and re-energised.Further consultation with key stakeholders and the community is recommended during future detailed design phases.

The consultation process carried out during the preparation of the Revitalisation Plan involved information sharing and consultation with Council, The Waikerie CBD Working Party, local businesses, community organisations and the wider Waikerie community. The Working Party worked alongside Council from day 1, and engaged with the community and key stakeholders to collect and represent their views and ideas to assist Council in developing the Draft Revitalisation Plan.

The consultation was carried out in a series of stages, in recognition of the need for different types of information at different stages of the project:• Stage 1- Information Gathering - The

initial consultation phase provided a project overview and initial analysis to stimulate ideas and explore possibilities for the CBD. This was held at the Waikerie Market.

• Stage 2 - Draft Revitalisation Plan - The second round of consultation presented the Draft Revitalisation Plan to stakeholders and the wider community, providing the opportunity to comment and assist in refining the ideas and priorities prior to the finalisation of the Revitalisation Plan.

• Further consultation was carried out to assist in the selection of preferred CBD trees.

Refer to Council’s Consultation Summary reporting for full details on findings.

The CBD Revitalisation Plan adopts a long term view that establishes a planting character that is intended to be sustainable over a very long time. The vision is to strengthen the streets and open spaces to have healthy and distinctive trees, making the CBD more attractive and pleasant to be in. Trees play an important role in defining what the town can be known and loved for as well as make connections between the river, the CBD and other open spaces within Waikerie.

The CBD is a key part of Waikerie’s civic, commercial and tourism life. It is important to consider The CBD as a destination for recreation and town culture and an attraction in itself. The design, management and physical maintenance of the CBD is therefore of the highest order reflecting both Council and the community’s aspirations.

The master plan proposes a consistency of materials and construction techniques that establishes a strong local identity for Waikerie and distinguishes it from other towns. Materials are chosen for their robust nature, long term cost effectiveness, local availability and identity.

• Paving and surface materials are chosen to reinforce a sense of place that is distinctive and ‘of Waikerie’ and achieve a pedestrian setting appropriate to the functions of the CBD.

• Existing incomplete footpath links are improved and connected - primary and higher use areas are paved with a higher quality paver within the CBD.

• Paving levels are improved for accessibility where possible.

Plantings within the streetscape provides a scale to the street and level of amenity that makes The CBD a unique and attractive destination. Plant species selection is based on environmental conditions and to celebrate the seasonality of species, locality, their rich and varied potential for use in Waikerie.

STRATEGIES


Community + Public Art

• Public art contributes towards cultural expression and legibility in the public realm and is a powerful contributor to the civic, cultural and historical importance of Waikerie.

• This is achieved through ensuring the design and management of spaces can provide opportunity for community involvement and be flexible to cater for a mix of activities and events.

• Early opportunities include a series of murals to enliven blank walls throughout the CBD that reflect the special qualities of the town.

Implementation


Early implementation strategies look to green the CBD by planting street trees, reconfiguring kerb lines and intersections to establish better and safer pedestrian connectivity. Streetscapes and public places are further established including introduction of the a Francis Street Plaza. New street trees and the replacement of moribund or unsafe trees reinforces the urban streetscape structure of The CBD as well as increasing the amenity of the street for pedestrians.Implementation of the master plan also sees new footpaths, lighting, street furniture, gardens and public art.
