Background

Custom House Lane, Loftus Lane and Loftus Lane (South) are local laneways within the AMP ‘Quay Quarter’ Precinct – bounded by Loftus and Young Streets, Custom House Lane and Loftus Lane (South).

Approval has been granted to redevelop the precinct (D/2015/930) including consideration to permanently close Loftus Lane, between Custom House Lane and Loftus Lane (South) (Condition 67).

The developer has applied to permanently close Loftus Lane to vehicular traffic to create a pedestrian only space that will activate the lane and provide pedestrian links through the precinct.

Additional improvements for the precinct include the introduction of shared zones in Custom House Lane and Loftus Lane (South).
