Project Information
Clarence City Council has prepared a draft master plan for Victoria Esplanade and Queen Street in Bellerive.
You can view the draft master plan in the 'Documents' section on the right-hand side of this page or click here.
The master plan was prepared following community consultation in 2019 which identified a strong desire to improve the landscape and streetscape to celebrate the connection with and views across the River Derwent, provide better shared pathways and connections, improve traffic and parking, and generally activate the area to encourage people to stay longer.
It sets out a vision for the Victoria Esplanade and Queen Street precinct to provide a welcoming place which celebrates the location and provides for safe and equitable access for everyone.
The draft master plan was released for community consultation on between 3 April and 14 May 2023.
