The Glenorchy CBD revitalisation project was completed in 2021.
The project was delivered on time and under budget, providing a transformed civic and commercial heart for the city.
Stretching between Terry Street and Barry Street, the upgraded CBD puts people first — reducing the dominance of vehicles and creating a more accessible, comfortable, and vibrant streetscape for the 140-plus businesses, services, and community facilities in the area, including the Metro interchange, Glenorchy Library, cinema complex, and KGV sports stadium.
Key improvements include:
- Narrowed road widths and lower speed limits
- Raised intersections for safer pedestrian movement
- Widened footpaths to encourage outdoor dining
- Accessible parking bays and improved mobility access
- Street trees and eco-friendly garden beds
- Cycling infrastructure
- High-quality street furniture and feature lighting
- Street art and sculpture spaces
The project was developed in close consultation with the local community and sets the foundation for the continued growth and modernisation of the Glenorchy CBD.
