Monaro Street upgrade, Queanbeyan, concept plans.
A 40km/h speed zone is proposed for Queanbeyan’s main street, as part of a $15.5 million re-development of Monaro Street.
The speed zone changes from 50km/h to 40km/h are proposed in concept designs, released today (July 20), for Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council’s (QPRC) main street upgrade, due to start next year.
Upgrading Monaro Street is the third stage in QPRC’s CBD masterplan designed to improve the “amenity” of the streetscape and will include new footpaths, lighting, greenery and seating.
Council wants residents to “have their say” on the designs, as well the reduction in speed limit, which they say will provide “greater safety for road users”.

The two pedestrian laneways intersect with Monaro Street and act as a link between carparks, businesses, community and arts venues.
The planed rejuvenation of these lanes aims to increase pedestrian traffic in Queanbeyan, support local businesses and improve community safety and comfort.
Initial concepts for the two lanes are now open for community comment on our Your Voice page. The proposed work in these laneways includes:
