The Shire of Nannup is pleased to announce the completion of the Grange Road Carpark, delivering a valuable new asset that supports our growing town centre and enhances accessibility for residents, visitors and local businesses.
This project forms part of the Shire’s long-term vision to strengthen the Central Business District, helping to accommodate increased visitation while maintaining the unique charm and functionality of Nannup. The development was supported through funding from the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, reinforcing the importance of investing in regional communities.
From Challenge to Completion
The journey to deliver the Grange Road Carpark was not without its challenges. The project required extensive coordination and negotiation with multiple agencies, including the Water Corporation and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.
Despite delays and complex approval processes, the Shire remained committed to delivering an outcome that benefits the community. This persistence reflects Council’s dedication to long-term planning and ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with Nannup’s evolving needs.
A Space That Reflects Nannup’s Character
More than just a functional space, the Grange Road Carpark has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the distinctive Nannup look and feel.
A standout feature is the magnificent stonework, completed by a skilled local stonemason. The natural materials and craftsmanship bring warmth and character to the space, blending seamlessly with Nannup’s heritage streetscape. This attention to detail ensures the carpark is not only practical, but also contributes to the visual identity and welcoming atmosphere of the town.
Supporting Community and Local Economy
The new carpark delivers a range of benefits for the community:
- Improved access to the town centre for residents and visitors
- Increased parking capacity during peak tourism and event periods
- Enhanced support for local businesses, making it easier for people to stop, explore and stay longer
- Better traffic flow and safety in surrounding streets
As Nannup continues to grow as a destination, infrastructure like this plays a key role in ensuring the town remains accessible, vibrant and enjoyable for everyone.
Looking Ahead
The completion of the Grange Road Carpark marks an important step forward in strengthening Nannup’s town centre. It demonstrates what can be achieved through persistence, collaboration and a clear vision for the future.
The Shire looks forward to seeing the community and visitors make full use of this new space, whether it’s for everyday errands, events, or simply enjoying all that Nannup has to offer.
