Magill Village
Council, in collaboration with the City of Burnside and with the support of the State Government, have undertaken works to underground power and improve the streetscape on Magill Road to improve Magill Village for businesses, residents and visitors.
Both Campbelltown City Council and the City of Burnside worked together to completely revitalise the Magill Village precinct and make the area a more attractive place to shop, stay and visit.
The redevelopment has delivered a safer and more accessible streetscape with additional pedestrian crossings, improved cycling lanes, a permanent 40k m/h speed limit through the Village heart, and new footpaths compliant with disability access requirements. Enhancements were also made to the Magill and Penfold Roads intersection to improve pedestrian, cyclist and driver safety.
New paving, landscaping, public art, bespoke street furniture and an innovative road paving treatment all combine to create a unique and inviting identity for the precinct, along with opportunities for vibrant street life, outdoor dining and pop-up stalls.
Environmental sustainability initiatives included the planting of 68 new trees, water sensitive urban design features to capture stormwater, electric vehicle charging stations, and planted traffic islands.
Parking sensors were installed early in the project to understand the existing demand for on-street parking in the Village. The Village Heart's final design ensures that on-street parks are available that meet this known demand. You may not be able to park in front of your favourite shop, but there is plenty of on-street and off-street parking available.
Council was excited to unveil the completed works on 3 December 2022, with the revitalised precinct now providing a vastly improved experience for visitors, shoppers and residents. This project was funded by the Australian Government with $2 million from the Federal ‘Community Development Grant Programme’ and $5.75 million from the State ‘Local Government Infrastructure Partnership Program.’
