Moe Rest Station
Public toilets, bus/taxi shelter, town clock and landscaping

The new public toilets and bus/taxi shelter will provide unisex and accessible public amenities with baby change facilities. The town clock will provide a focal point within the new civic precinct. Both are located close to the proposed youth precinct which will have a range of facilities to encourage use by all ages and is close to the proposed picnic and barbecue areas.

Moe Underground Power Lines
Will enhance the appearance of George Street

The relocation of existing overhead power lines in George Street, between Anzac Street and Saviges Road, is being undertaken as part of the Moe Activity Centre Plan. The power lines will be put underground and existing street lighting will be replaced with modern light posts, outreach arms and lights.

Works are planned to commence in November and end mid 2013.

The works to underground the Powerlines will require significant road works and may disrupt traffic flows during some periods. Council will work to ensure that any disruptions are minimised with alternative routes and parking areas being clearly designated for the community.
