Main Street Berridale Study

Do you have any images of Jindabyne Road, Berridale? We are seeking to document Jindabyne Road from the earliest images of Oliver’s store in the 1860s to the 2000’s – ideally representing every decade.

Background

Council is delivering Stage 3 of the Berridale Beautification Masterplan under the Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 5. Part of the funding is being utilised to commission a “Main Street Study” of Jindabyne Road by Council’s Heritage Advisor.

This study will help inform, along with hydrology and other documents, the detailed design for Stage 3.

You may see our heritage advisor over the coming weeks and months photographing and documenting along Jindabyne Road.

What is a Main Street Study?

The purpose of a Main Street Study is to improve the streetscape to make it more attractive as a destination so that businesses can take advantage of the greater number of visitors and their longer visiting time. Another desired outcome is that a more vibrant community and local economy results in a greater ability and willingness to conserve historic buildings and streetscapes.

What does a Main Street Study mean for Berridale?

Once adopted, the studies provide specific and general advice on heritage and urban design issues for Berridale’s main street (Jindabyne Rd) with the aim of assisting private property owners and Council to carry out appropriate conservation and improvement work to their properties and public areas. It should be noted that the delivery of the actions in these plans will be subject to Council's ability to resource, fund and prioritise through its future delivery program, the development of which will include community consultation.
