The community is invited to help shape Sydney\u2019s newest park, almost 10 hectares of open space on former inaccessible industrial land to be transformed as part of the Rozelle Interchange project.
\nMinister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said Rozelle residents would have access to this new space, similar in size to Victoria Park near Sydney University, to relax, exercise and enjoy the outdoors once the Rozelle Interchange is completed in 2023.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be delivering a new park for the people of Rozelle and neighbouring communities, and this is their chance to have a say about the revitalisation of this prominent location.\u201d Mr Constance said
\n\u201cOur goal is to create a treasured place for the community to enjoy including new walking, running and cycling tracks that connect to surrounding suburbs.\u201d
\nA draft Urban Design Landscape Plan will go on public display from August 10 providing insight into how the park could look. Residents will have an opportunity to give feedback on its proposed landscape design, pedestrian and cyclist connections, playground equipment, fitness stations and lighting.
\nThe park will be created on the former Rozelle rail yards, currently a project construction site.
\nA Technical Working Group will also be established, comprising NSW Government agencies and community members, to consider potential local sporting uses and the community\u2019s needs.
\n\u201cWe want to work with the community and key stakeholders to understand their views on the ongoing use for the parklands such as community sporting facilities and playing surfaces,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\nThe Group will seek expressions of interest for community involvement in the coming weeks.
\nThe Rozelle Interchange, part of the third stage of WestConnex, includes a new underground motorway interchange and underground bypass of Victoria Road between Iron Cove Bridge and Anzac Bridge. It will reduce traffic on Victoria Road by 50 per cent.
\nThe project will create more than 15,000 jobs by the time it opens to traffic in late 2023.
\nMr Constance said online community consultation would include two virtual presentations to give an overview of the Urban Design Landscape Plan, ensuring residents can have their say during COVID-19.
\n\u201cThis is a great opportunity to shape this unique project and I urge locals and those with an interest to get involved,\u201d Mr Constance said
\nThe plan can be accessed and commented on via the\u00a0www.westconnex.com.au<\/a>\u00a0website from 9am on 10 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
