The masterplan was the result of significant community consultation and provided the foundation for transforming the community from a highway focused town to a vibrant regional centre. The masterplan defined 30 specific projects refer (Appendix B - Page 5). The proposed delivery timing for the projects was modified through the subsequent operating plans adopted by Council.

Construction of Smith Street CBD Works

Nov 2014 Jun 2015 To Commence in February 2015

Following design of the refurbishment works in Smith Street, the tendering and construction period was delayed to avoid the peak Christmas/Summer holiday period. In delivering the projects, no specific budget has been set in the operating plan. The original budget nominated in the adopted Kempsey Corridor Masterplan was $5.6M. Council has approval for a low interest loan up to $5.6M with the costs of borrowing at a low interest rate factored into the long term financial plan. Other funding is available for portions of the proposed works which align with the Section 94 Development Contributions Plan and there is some funding that can be utilised from the asset handover of the old highway corridor. The last update report on the Corridor Masterplan Implementation was provided to the Council meeting on 15 April 2014 as Appendix L (Item 6) in the meeting Agenda refer (Appendix C - Page 13). An updated version of this report is contained in (Appendix A – Page 1). The updated works program requires a revised budget of $6.85M. A separate report on the proposed timing of works relative to the operating plan will be provided in conjunction with the half yearly operating plan report to the February 2015 meeting. It should be noted that the figures in (Appendix A – Page 1) do not include contingencies for any works. Any unforeseen costs will result in further modification to the budgets allocated for other projects and may result in the works being reduced further in the future, unless opportunities to create further savings are identified as the various projects progress. The revised project program has resulted in an increase in the proposed project cost of $1.34M or approximately 23%. This is the result of increases in some projects of $3.41M and reductions in other projects of $2.09M. The additional required budget is proposed to be funded from developer contributions and appropriate amounts for works that were otherwise intended to be completed as part of the asset handover from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). The following table identifies the additional funding proposed for the works: Project Number

Funding Shortfall $0 $266,000 $0 $0 Total Funds Sought = $1,343,000 Of the funds sought to be used to supplement the original low interest loan funding for the project, there is sufficient funding available within the relevant Section 94 Plan, with the exception of the Kempsey Public Domain. The funding held in the Kempsey Public Domain Section 94 Fund was recently used to fund the Kempsey Mall Refurbishment Project and only has $187,000 held in reserves. This is insufficient to fund the relevant section of this work which aligns with the plan. On this basis, it is recommended to internally borrow $266,000 from other S94 Reserves in order to make up the shortfall. Internal borrowing for the restricted reserves is proposed on the basis that all development in the Shire is required to pay the Kempsey Public Domain contribution amount and therefore the internal loan can be progressively repaid as funds are received from future development. At current development rates, it is expected that the internal borrowing would be repaid in approximately 8 years. The other option for Council to consider is a reduction in the scope of the works for Smith Street. However, this would have implications upon the tender assessment report and would detract from the finished outcome of the refurbishment project. This option is not recommended. Budget update reports will be provided in the future of the course of the Corridor Masterplan Implementation process each time a major contract is proposed to be entered into and as part of developing successive years operating plans.

1 Smith Street Retail Ribbon

Activity Node / Shopping /Meeting Place

Kempsey town centre is a robust retail and commercial centre providing a range of activities and experiences for residents and visitors.

Redesign of Smith Street allows for reduction in pedestrian/vehicle conflicts through reduction in through travel lanes and installation of legible pedestrian crossing thresholds.

Reduce to single travel lane in both directions and provide kerbside parallel parking in marked bays. Provide sheltered pedestrian crossing points at either end and midpoint.

Create smart contemporary and elegant design solution for covered pedestrian crossovers that interpret and reinforce the main street feel of Smith street using material of a local vernacular.

2013-14 KSC / KCC RMS / EE

Redesign of traffic movements provides opportunities for wider pedestrian footpaths and "micro squares" to be created along the ribbon providing for improvements to the immediate shopping environment.

Widen footpaths to create "free" crown space for street trees outside building awning line, and to provide alfresco dining and street café opportunities. Investigate options for event spaces and the creation of small public meeting spaces or micro squares at crossings.

Utilise various design devices to develop and define dynamic street open spaces and squares such as planter containers and boxes, seating blocks, signboards and message sticks (poles).


Creation of a dynamic series of layers through the town centre and along the key pedestrian spines of Smith and Belgrave streets through the careful but innovative application of public architecture, lighting, public art and street planting.

Establish a family of elements that speak clearly to each other and to the community. Use local designers, architects and artists to create a distinctive, efficient and smart built form for the town centre public architecture including crossing canopies, bus shelters and shade structures.

Integrated, contemporary and durable style for lighting, seating and other furniture with complimentary materials and colours.


Enrich the public domain of the town centre through attractive and resilient pedestrian pavements utilising high quality design and robust materials.

A creative street pavement layer that expresses the natural and cultural rhythms of the place through a blend of vibrant and subdued colours and patterns.

Develop legible and efficient way finding devices and signage to be installed across the town centre for pedestrians and vehicle drivers.

Legible and clear signage that corresponds with established routes and destinations installed at key intersections, route locations and destinations.

Create a family of way finding signage using clear, legible and durable colours, font and material.


Green Street / Pathways / Quiet Places

Reduced traffic volumes travelling through Kempsey provide an opportunity for Smith Street to evolve as a pedestrian friendly tree lined avenue offering a variety of urban spaces and outdoor "rooms" and events for people to enjoy.

The creation of positive urban space along Smith Street requires the development of active frontages to shops and businesses. Design of public spaces to create "micro squares" at crossing points allows the development of street cafes and other public" business endeavours.

Wider footpaths and the use of public art, street furniture and "event places" contribute to the rejuvenation of public spaces outside and along the frontages of established shopping streets. Design of micro squares and outdoor rooms in the street assist in setting the context for a revitalised public streetscape.

Utilise various design devices to develop and define dynamic street open spaces and squares such as planter containers and boxes, seating blocks, signboards and message sticks (poles).


Street tree planting with appropriately scaled species that offer attractive foliage and crown form crates a distinctive avenue.

Trees should be a quick growing manageable, hardy and resilient species proven in hostile environments that provides a range of interest over the four seasons with a cultural / natural relationship to the area.

2 Smith Street and Belgrave Street Intersection

Entrance / Threshold The key node of Kempsey the intersection is the central activity space and entry threshold to the town centre flanked by the Kempsey Post office, the Macleay River bridge and the entry of the two main arteries of the town.

The intersection is the junction of the two spines of Kempsey and is the entry to the town centre. The intersection should act as a legible and identifiable landmark and activity node in the town with adequate pedestrian space to act as a town square.

The intersection is edged by a significant built curtilage and has close proximity to the river. Future design initiatives should consider reframing the open space /car park adjacent to the post office as a pedestrian civic square and creating a clearly identified entry gate to Kempsey at the intersection which may include public art and lighting installations.

Utilise wild stone or reconstituted stone paving in creative and durable manner. Ashlar patterns and contemporary interpretation of traditional patterns assist in creating vibrant, unique and interesting urban spaces. Incorporate visually powerful land marking elements such as sculpture for example, to create a town gateway.


3 Belgrave Street Green Street / Pathways / Entrance

Redirection of northbound traffic from Smith Street through Belgrave Street and Stuart Street requires that Belgrave Street maintain the existing alignment and lane configuration.

The use of new street furniture elements such as smart poles and planting containers at the kerbside will add significant vital colour and character to Belgrave Street between Smith and Stuart.

New pavement materials and designs to rejuvenate Belgrave Street and visually tie in Smith Street to Clyde Street and the town centre core. Planting containers can provide instant floral colour.

Implement design programme outlined in Councils Macleay River Estuary Management Plan (2011).

Plantings: native riparian species. Utilise the opportunity to plant large tree species including native figs (Ficus macrophylla; F. rubiginosa) which are restricted in the town centre and residential areas because of their size.


7 Post Office / Civic Square

Access To Water /Public Square /Meeting Place

A new and celebratory public square in the historic heart of Kempsey affirms the deep natural and cultural heritage between the people and the river.
