The revitalisation of this unattractive parcel of open space in central Horsham is a high priority of Council and our community.

The project includes the following elements

• Rehabilitation of previously contaminated land along the rail corridor

• Landscaping, recreation and open space improvements

• Construction of a new fully compliant and accessible underpass

• Provision of further public parking and access to the Silo Art project.

Benefit 

Improve perception of Horsham North. Re-integration of Horsham North into the wider Horsham community through improved pedestrian and bicycle links.

Status

In February, Council endorsed a landscape plan for the transformation of the rail corridor into a public open space.

While works at the site will not start until at least 2025, the plan’s adoption paves the way for HRCC to continue its bid to purchase the Horsham North land from current owner VicTrack and seek external funding for the long-awaited project.
