The aim of the project was a public space improvement, creating an attractive, comfortable and sheltered spaces in the town centre’s Library Square and England Lane for people to enjoy. The project was broken into three areas:

The Library Square – we aim to create an attractive, comfortable and sheltered space in front of the community library.

England Lane – we want to improve people’s accessibility as they move around the town centre. People will find better signage, access to and visibility of the Community Centre, the Arts and Craft Centre and the Recreation Centre.

A section of the car park in front of the Karori Community Centre (KCC) – the connection of the lane will extend to the KCC entrance, improving pedestrian connections across the car park. The conditions of the disabled parks will be improved to enable better accessibility as well.

JFC’s scope of works included upgrading infrastructure, constructing new raingardens and garden beds, laying high specification concrete and paving, and asphalt surfaces. New lighting was installed, plus new seating and new bike racks.
