What are we doing?

This project aims to create a unified, accessible, sustainable, and coherent landscape in the Berridale village. We will explore and deliver upgrades to traffic and drainage functions, landscape improvements, enhanced pedestrian access, formalisation of the creek, and improvements to and integration of open spaces.

The current scope of this project has two key phases outlined below.

Survey and Design

A site survey is to be undertaken by qualified contractors to support the development of a design for future works.

The design will include:

  • Upgraded culverts under Myack Street and elevated road as required
  • Upgraded culverts under Park Street and elevated road as required
  • Upgraded culverts at Oliver and Bolton Streets
  • A gathering area at the Memorial Park for ANZAC Day attendees
  • A formalised creek line from Robert Street to Park Street
  • A shared pathway from Robert Street to Bolton Street (Lions Park)
  • A learner bike track in Central Park or Lions Park
  • Upgraded signage
  • A new BBQ near the existing seating in Central Park
  • New parking at Central Park on Bolton Street
  • New parking at the stake park on Bolton Street
  • Formalised and sealed existing parking (dirt) in Bolton Street
  • Formalised the existing car-parking area and resealed the service road in front of the Lions Park
  • Formalised long vehicle (caravan) parking in Park Street & associated signage
  • A pathway from Myack Street to the amenities
  • Low-maintenance landscaping
  • Park lighting at levels required by the Australian Standards
  • A virtual tour access point at the Anzac Memorial
  • Integration of design with Snowy Monaro Regional Council hydrology report/s to achieve the best outcome
  • Consideration of increasing the design area upstream or downstream to better address floodwater mitigation 
  • NO REMOVAL of trees will be allowed without community consultation

Latest Update: October 2025

Council is breaking ground before Christmas on the first stage of Berridale Village Master Plan, with the design process concurrently underway for the future third stage of the ambitious project to transform Berridale.

The multi-year Berridale Village Master Plan project has seen Council’s projects team and the community Project Engagement Group working closely together to develop a positive and achievable vision for the future of the village, thanks to a grant awarded under the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.

Stage 1 – Design

The contractor is delivering integrated designs for the realignment of the creek through four new culvert crossings at Park Street, Myack Street, Bolton Street and Oliver Street to improve drainage and boost the town’s resilience against future flooding.

Stage 2 – Construction works

Work on the project will get underway before Christmas 2025.  The first phase of works will be the construction of new culverts at Park Street and Myack Street, and the realignment of the creek between the two crossings.

All work is scheduled for completion in early 2026. Work hours will be from 7.30am to 5pm on weekdays, and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays (as required). No work will be performed on Sundays or public holidays.

Once complete, the creek realignment and culvert installations will provide Berridale with greater protection against serious flooding while preserving the appearance and functionality of a natural waterway. The project outcomes will also reduce the cost and frequency of ongoing creek maintenance.

Council looks forward to unveiling this major upgrade for one of our region’s most iconic towns in early 2026. We thank the community for their understanding and cooperation while work is underway over the next several months.

June 2025

The Berridale Master Plan has now been adopted by Council. The tender process or the works is scheduled to commence in July.

We have received strong community support, with local residents and others connected to the snowy mountains providing valuable feedback. This input has helped shape a revised plan that prioritises accessibility, sustainability, and safety, including improvements to pedestrian crossings, heritage preservation, and stormwater management.

Key additions include enhanced safety features, new amenities around the skate park, and pathway lighting throughout the village.

The project, funded by the NSW Government's Stronger Country Communities Fund, will boost Berridale’s economy by attracting more visitors and supporting local businesses.
