High Street Car Park Contract Awarded

Published on 20 October 2023

Council is pleased to announce Alpine Civil Pty Ltd has been awarded the contract for the completion of the new High Street car park with works expected to start in early 2024 following the busy summer holiday period. 

The existing temporary car park, located at 34 High Street, Mansfield, will be upgraded with a final sealed surface, new pedestrian footpaths and a new access lane constructed from Collopy Street.

Following community consultation, Council worked with JCA Land Consultants on a design which includes the following features:

• Vehicle entry to the car park will be from High Street and a new exit provided onto Collopy Street.
• 84 parking spaces (2.6m wide x 5.4m long) will be provided, with 2 spaces allocated for disabled parking.
• Pedestrian access to High St, Collopy St and Erril St will be provided.
• Solar lighting will be installed.
• Adequate drainage will be provided throughout the carpark.
• Landscaping around the car park will be completed with mulched planting of new trees.
• Future provision for installation of an EV charger will be made.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said the final car park design has responded to feedback from the community.

“High Street experiences an influx of traffic, especially during peak visitation periods,” he said.

“Sealing of the car park, the new pedestrian footpaths and the new exit onto Collopy St will assist with creating greater ease of parking and access to all of our businesses in town for visitors and community members.”

The contract awarded to Alpine Civil Pty Ltd is for the amount of $461,227.50 (ex GST). The project was funded by Council.
