Gymea Shopping Centre upgrade

updated 18 May 2010

Update: Revised Raised Crossing

The location of the proposed raised crossing threshold, at the northern end of Gymea Bay Road (south of The Kingsway) has been revised. See the Masterplan Concept below.

This revised location is to accommodate a safer right hand turn for vehicles from Warburton Street into Gymea Bay Road. It will result in a net loss of 2 existing car parking spaces in this vicinity. However, it will facilitate safer vehicle manoeuvring at this intersection, and a safer pedestrian movement across Gymea Bay Road.

The revised Concept Masterplan including the proposed additional 2 raised threshold crossings (inclusive of the above mentioned) will be put forward to the Sutherland Traffic Committee at their next meeting in June.

Any further questions contact Council's Planning Project Manager, Babee Palanivel on 9710 0333 for further information.
