Proposals For Street and Laneway Activation

The map looks at short, mid and longterm activation of streets and lane ways.

Short term activation (0-5years) will be seen in main areas of interest. This will include vegetation where possible, lighting and new public infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists and increased safety.

Mid term activation will see similar results as the short term however will be completed in a 5-10 year term. These are commonly smaller back streets and lane ways or private lanes mostly used for rear access to buildings and homes. A focus on public art, cafe spillage of seating, lighting and safety will be a priority.

Long term activation (10+ years) will be seen in smaller lane ways, some which are private lane ways. In these areas greenery and lighting will be a priority with elements of street are possibly feeding into these areas to make them a point of interest for people visiting South Melbourne.
