Consultation has concluded.

After round 1 consultation with community and local businesses, Randwick City Council has developed a concept design for the intersection at Clovelly Road and Burnie Street, Clovelly. 

Feedback from the community told us it was important that we create a pedestrian-friendly community space, that provides a green refuge from heat and included an element of fun and interaction. Community feedback helped us develop a concept design that provides a cool, green space for people to come together over a coffee or a cold drink, and streetscape improvements that increase safety and deliver a great pedestrian experience at this strip of shops. 

Where is it? 

This new green public space is proposed for the existing median at the intersection of Clovelly Road and Burnie Street. The draft concept design reclaims the existing slip lane to create a people focused experience for local residents and neighbouring businesses.

Project highlights

The proposed key features of the draft concept design involve:

  • Dense planting and increased tree canopy to create a green oasis at Burnie St shops
  • Interactive stepping stones, totems and planting to create a sense of adventure
  • Seating to encourage passers-by to stop, relax and take a break
  • An informal gathering space for the local community to enjoy
  • A tiered stair case to create levels and separation from Clovelly Rd
  • Greater separation between pedestrians and cars to increase safety
  • Increased traffic calming and pedestrian crossings to cross both Burnie St and Clovelly Rd safely
  • Read our FAQs for more on the project

If you live nearby, regularly visit the Clovelly Beach area, or are a local business owner then we want to hear from you.

    Randwick City Council is exploring the opportunity to create a new green space and improve the streetscape at the intersection of Clovelly Road and Burnie Street, Clovelly.

    The project is part of the Clovelly Road Masterplan* which was developed by Council in close consultation with the community including residents and businesses in 2019 and 2020.

    The plan responds to requests from the Clovelly community to add more greenery, strengthen the village feel, and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

    We are proposing to create a green public space in the existing median at the intersection of Clovelly Road and Burnie Street. While there aren’t currently any detailed plans for the space, there is the possibility of closing the existing slip lane road to create a people-focused space.

    Traffic and Parking:

    To ensure the best possible outcome for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, Council has undertaken a traffic assessment, part of which indicates there would be minimal impact on the operation of the Clovelly Road and Burnie Street intersection and surrounding roads if the slip lane was closed. Furthermore, the loss of parking could be mitigated by providing parking along the new kerb created by the closure of the slip lane.

    Have your say:

    If you live nearby, regularly visit the Clovelly Beach area, or are a local business owner then we want to hear from you.

    Do you support the project? Do you have ideas for the design of the new space? Help us think outside the box. Would you like to see an outdoor dining space, a green oasis to meet your neighbours for a morning coffee, hammocks for chilling out, or space for urban parkour?

    To have your say and get involved:


    		 Register here for the online community workshop on Wednesday 12 October 2022, 5.30pm to 7pm to discuss the project and explore design ideas and opportunities.

    		Take our 5-minute survey and tell us what you think of the project and share your ideas for what you would like to see in the space.

    Or send a comment to the General Manager, with the subject line "Burnie Street Pocket Park" via council@randwick.nsw.gov.au or to 30 Frances Street, Randwick 2031.


    Consultation period: 26 September to 9am, 24 October 2022.
