Bathurst Regional Council has secured funding of $1.15M through the NSW Government’s Safer Cities: Her Way 2 program to improve perception of safety and accessibility for women, girls and gender-diverse people in the Bathurst CBD.
The project focuses on the area within approximately 800 metres of the Howick Street Bus Interchange. The project will focus on footpaths, parks and bus stops around the Howick Street Bus Interchange and the surrounding CBD Precinct.
Your experiences will help identify the places that feel safe, uncomfortable, and the practical changes such as lighting, clear views across public space, public art, signage, updated seating or events that would make Bathurst feel more welcoming and inclusive—particularly after dark.
