Council is upgrading Wilson Avenue between Jewell Station and Sydney Road. This work aims to improve pedestrian amenity, walkability and presentation of the street between Jewell Station and Sydney Road.

The feedback received from the community in 2021 shaped the Final Concept Design, with further minor refinement for construction purposes included after the public tender in 2024.

The project has been on hold for three years due to the construction of major developments along Wilson Avenue and will now commence in early 2025.

• Improved pedestrian level lighting to increase perceived safety;
• Widening of the footpath and traffic calming treatments, to address traffic dominance;
• Street tree planting and additional vegetation, to increase overall amenity;
• Designated seating and outdoor dining areas; and
• Raised shared areas at both ends of the street, for flexible events and activities.

• Water Sensitive Urban Design and Stormwater Management
• Outdoor dining area with integrated umbrella footings
• New feature trees on widened footpaths
• Planter bed and public seating under trees
• Ambience lighting under the seats
• Feature seats which are moveable to cater for events.
• High-quality pavement treatments and accessibility improvements
• Street furniture such as seats, bins, bollards, and a drinking fountain.
