In the coming days Prince Street in the Grafton CBD will have a new look and feel, with the widening of footpaths, installation of planter boxes and introduction of nose-in parking taking place.

The trial is part of the Rediscover Grafton project which is funded by the NSW Government’s Streets As Shared Spaces Program to create more vibrant and accessible public spaces.

It includes the section of Prince Street within the two newly upgraded pedestrian crossings between Pound Street and Fitzroy Street. Clarence Valley Council (CVC) crews have spent last week implementing the changes on the western side of Prince Street (Cotton On to Flame Trees Café), and will replicate the changes to the eastern side (Harveys Arcade to Best & Less) this week.

There are temporary disruptions to parking, however Prince Street remains open to traffic and pedestrians.
