FAQs
Where is the site exactly?
The project site is located at the intersection of Clovelly Road and Burnie Street, Clovelly. The below map illustrates the rough project boundaries.
What has been designed?
Following the first round of consultation and extensive traffic and pedestrian studies, Council has developed a concept design with appointed architects JMD Design. The design aims to deliver a people focused new green urban space and streetscape improvements.
Will this project remove parking on the slip lane?
Yes, the concept does convert the slip lane into an accessible pedestrian staircase and additional area for dense planting on the site. Following community consultation, Council is proposing to convert a section of Burnie Street from parallel to 90-degree parking, which would create approximately 15 to 20 new spaces.
These additional spaces would offset those removed to make way for the new pocket park, resulting in a net increase of 5 to 10 parking spaces overall.
Who is funding this project?
Funding has been allocated in Council's Capital Works Funding Budget.
