Town Centre Renewal Plan
In January 2020, Council will commence the second phase of the Town Centre Renewal Plan (TCRP). This will focus on Byron Street, between Campbell Street to Vivian Street.
The TCRP is an ambitious plan that seeks to rejuvenate the town centre of Inverell. Adopted by Council in 2014, it is a strategy for enhancing an attractive town centre that people want to visit more frequently and stay for longer periods of time – allowing businesses greater opportunity. The Plan also sought to deal with the problems associated with existing Plane Trees.
