Concept designs for beautification works on two of Mansfield's roundabouts are under considerations:
Location 1: Chenery Street - High Street Roundabout
Location 2: Malcolm Street - Highett Street Roundabout
Many members of our community enjoy and take pride in the beautiful gardens and police monument of Mansfield's central roundabout, and these two roundabouts also have the potential to enhance our township's character at their high-profile locations.
Both designs were produced by Council's Parks & Gardens crew with consideration for the practicalities of the sites. The designs' low profile helps to preserve drivers' view of oncoming traffic. They require very little maintenance, reducing the overall cost and also the road safety risk for Council's gardeners.
Unlike Mansfield's central roundabout, these roundabouts have no irrigation to support a lawn or thirsty plant varieties. However both designs strive for an attractive natural character.
The proposed design and a concept illustration for each roundabout is available below. Higher-resolution images can be found to the right of this page.
Please find the latest changes to the Roundabout Beautification project after receiving community feedback in the 'News Feed.'
About the designs
Location 1: Chenery Street - High Street Roundabout
This design features a representation of five leaves. The flat sculptures consist of timber stems with rust-finish "Form Boss" edging, topped with a loose granite surface in alternating colours. The leaves are arranged around a tiered central rock bed.
Location 2: Malcolm Street - Highett Street Roundabout
This design has several features, focused on a rock 'river bed' flowing from one side to the other. Three garden beds give colour with overflowing creeping plants and rust-finish "Form Boss" edging. Three larger boulders accentuate the garden beds.
