Project Update
September 2023

As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping you informed about the Scone CBD Revitalisation Project, we would like to share an update on the works happening in and around St Aubins Square and Kelly Street. 

Pedestrian management will be changing in Block 2 (Liverpool to St Aubins Streets).  The Contractor requires access to the footpath adjacent to the shops for the installation of the upgraded electrical network and modifications to Telecommunications infrastructure.  This will involve varying the route pedestrians take but access to businesses will be maintained throughout.
