Maitland Councilors will tonight endorse the head construction contract for the second stage of the Levee Project set to revamp the city centre.
Stage two will see the construction of the Riverlink Building, an archway which will link the bank of the Hunter River with High Street and the city centre.
The Riverlink Building will include a large open walkway to the river, a cafe/restaurant and new toilet amenities which are desperately needed.
Councilor Phillip Penfold says despite the controversy surrounding stage one of the Levee Project, the revamp is giving Maitland a bright future
"It'll be an excellent revitalisation of the city centre and obviously after some controversy about stage one of the Levee, I think its been an improvement greatly, but once people see the completion of stage two, they will be wrapped in what we have designed for the future of Maitland."
Work is set to be completed by the end of 2017.
