Lonsdale Great Street Project

Reimagining Central Lonsdale


We are developing a plan to transform Central Lonsdale into our city’s next great street – a street with a diverse and vibrant mix of attractions, events, and businesses, where everyone can live, work, visit and play. 

The Lonsdale Great Street Project will guide us on how to best support the current need and future growth of Central Lonsdale. The goal is to improve everything you see and experience in public spaces along Lonsdale Avenue, so that every person, business, and community group can thrive.
