Crystal Brook Shopfront Improvement Project
In 2016, the Crystal Brook Community Association engaged a conservation architect to provide a report on the revitalisation of Bowman Street and Crystal Brook generally.
Port Pirie Regional Council has now received grant funding of $235,000 via the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Program and is looking to collaborate with Crystal Brook businesses and commercial property owners toget creative and enhance their street appeal.
These enhancements will be in the form of shopfront building improvements with the aim to:
- Enhance the presentation of a building or business
- Contribute to amenity and a more interesting and exciting street experience
- Make a creative or unique contribution to the streetscape.
The management of the project will be performed by Port Pirie Regional Council in collaboration with the building owners.
Grants are available to Crystal Brook businesses and commercial property owners for long-term, street-level improvements to shopfronts, including improvements to parapets, signage, verandahs and general shopfront appearance.
Council would also welcome proposals where a number of nearby businesses would like to collaborate to enhance collective street appeal.
Applications for inclusion in this project opened on Tuesday 3rd November 2020 with all applications to be submitted to Council by the closing date of 5.00pm Tuesday 24th November 2020.
Council will not be able to accept applications after the application submission close date.
