Pop Up Parklet Trial

Council’s Economic Development team asked the Shire’s hospitality venues to submit expressions of interest for a pop-up parklet trial at four locations. Background information can be viewed here:

Council received three responses, and all three successfully accepted following careful assessment in line with the Shire’s program guidelines. The fourth parklet was then allocated to sit centrally within the Bacchus Marsh town centre, in front of public space, and within proximity to several hospitality outlets.

The Department of Transport (DoT) approved Council’s event permit to enable parklets on DoT managed roads. The parklets are designed and coordinated in line with safety, traffic management and accessibility guidelines.
