Street Furniture

Street Furniture constitute a very important part of city's streetscape, which seeks to provide clarity of movement, beauty and interest of  streets and open spaces, as well as continuity and harmony of total urban environment.  The goal of the Street Furniture Asset Plan is to provide accessible, easy to maintain, comfortable and well designed assets to contribute effectively to the appearance of the street and to ensure that they are fit for the purpose.

The City of Port Phillip aims to closely monitor the quality of service delivery to the community, while ensuring the requirements of Australian Standards and local government practices and specifications are met.

We need seats and benches to sit, drinking water fountains for sustenance, bollards to control traffic, flags and moving signs, bicycle racks, traffic light, fire hydrants, directional signs and symbols at definite places.  The Port Phillip Council maintains these assets on main roads, local roads, laneways, and designated car parks, parks and foreshore areas.

Objectives

• fit for its purpose
• comfortable and safe
• Easy to maintain
• durability in surrounding environment
• simple design, simple to use/operate and repair
• reinforce local identity of the city
• difficult to steal or vandalise
• reflect the council's commitment to provide services in a planned and efficient manner.

There are bus shelters along nominated public transport routes within the city.  Most of these shelters are owned and maintained by private operators.  The council liaises with these operators on an ongoing basis to determine and review the upkeep of these shelters.
