Fresh look for Tully centre
WITH new garden beds, landscaping and accessibility upgrades, the completed first stage of the Banyan and Butler Street Beautification Project has added vibrancy and improved pedestrian safety to Tully’s CBD.
The project, begun in May this year, created new garden beds along Butler Street to improve pedestrian safety and visibility, and landscaping at Banyan Park to attract visitors to the iconic Golden Gumboot.
Mayor Teresa Millwood said the initial phase of the project had already made a noticeable difference to the visual appeal and functionality of Butler Street.
“The new garden beds, featuring native local plants, will remain vibrant and sustainable throughout the year,” she said.
“The newly designed gumboot plaza in Banyan Park is a key highlight, offering improved visual appeal and accessibility, along with enhanced landscaping, interpretive signs, and lighting.”
Looking ahead, the Council will continue collaborating with the community and businesses on future stages of the Banyan Park Beautification Project.
Stage One of the Banyan and Butler Street Beautification Project was jointly funded by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program.
