Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

At its November 2020 meeting, the Local Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee (LPCTCC) endorse the pedestrian boulevard in George Street between Bathurst Street and Rawson Place.

The introduction of the CBD and South East Light Rail (CSELR) permanently closed and converted George Street into a pedestrian boulevard between Hunter and Bathurst Streets.

To continue the pedestrian boulevard, George Street between Bathurst Street and Railway Square was permanently close with footpath widenings. The extension of the pedestrian boulevard includes the permanent closure, changing the traffic arrangement and widening the footpath of nearby streets, including Hay Street in Haymarket between George and Harbour Streets.
