GP Bluestone delivered a streetscape upgrade in Thomastown for the City of Whittlesea, improving pedestrian access, safety, public amenity and landscape quality along Alexander Avenue.

Project: Alexander Avenue, Thomastown

Client: City of Whittlesea

Work Description:

GP Bluestone was engaged by the City of Whittlesea to deliver a streetscape upgrade along Alexander Avenue in Thomastown. The project focused on transforming the area into a safer, more accessible and vibrant community space while improving local infrastructure. Works included the installation of exposed aggregate concrete footpaths, pram ramps and vehicular pavement, along with new kerbs, channels, and a raised pedestrian crossing. Feature brick paving, seating, lighting, custom furniture and a new drinking fountain were also installed to enhance public amenity.

Significant landscaping works were completed, including raised garden beds, new tree planting, turf laying and mulching. The upgrade also included a redesigned carpark with new asphalt surfacing, AG drains, wheel stops, line marking and tactiles to improve safety and accessibility. Drainage infrastructure was upgraded with new pits, RCPs and connections to garden beds. Additional works such as electrical upgrades, tree removals, and reinstatement of surrounds were carried out with minimal disruption to nearby businesses and residents.


The revitalised streetscape now offers improved pedestrian access, safer crossings, modern lighting, and community-friendly spaces that support both daily use and local events.
