This is a project listed in Council's Delivery Program and Operational Plan. The aim of this project is to deliver streetscape upgrade works, integrating multiple Council policies and strategies and addressing community feedback from CBD residents, workers and visitors wanting more outdoor dining, vibrancy, cafes, shade and seating along Phillip Street.
Council is aiming to commence works towards the middle of 2022. Further updates on the construction program will be provided soon.
Phillip Street will remain open and accessible during the delivery of works. Council will consult with property owners and tennants regarding driveway access to impacted buildings.
The construction of the pedestrian crossing will improve pedestrian safety and connection to Charles Street Square and Parramatta Wharf.
