Mid Murray Council received funding from the Department for Infrastructure and Transport to prepare a Master Plan for the Truro Township.

After extensive consultation with the community, including the Truro Primary School, main street businesses and the Truro & District Community Association, Council endorsed the Truro Township Master Plan on 17 October 2023.

The Truro Township Master Plan aims to revitalise Truro’s town centre to support the town’s economic future through its transition once the Truro Freight Route is constructed.  The Plan will provide a clear plan for township improvements that can be adapted over time.  This will enable the outcomes of this work to guide future decision-making within Government and the private sector.

Key elements with the Truro Township Master Plan include:

• Enhancing the streetscape to increase greenery with an avenue of street trees and garden beds;
• Improving accessibility and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists including safe crossing points and trail connections;
• Opportunity to establish a Town Square at the former Mogas site with potential visitor information facilities, community marketplace, performance space, playground, outdoor museum and public art;
• Upgrade reserve facilities at Heroes’ Park to provide enhanced experiences for nature play, picnic facilities, and other recreational activities;
• Potential for a new RV camping area;
• Upgrade the Truro oval with resurfacing and irrigation, changeroom upgrade, and new multi-use tennis courts and cricket nets.

Subject to the Truro Freight Route project being confirmed by the Federal Government, $1 million has been committed to by the State and Federal Governments to commence the delivery of priority projects from the Master Plan.  The total cost estimate for the town centre is just over $2 million, with Council seeking further funding streams.
