Consultation has concluded
Feedback closed 2 November 2022 - initial consultation closed 31 March 2022. However the project has been impacted by the COVID pandemic and as workers have returned to the North Sydney CBD, the feedback period was extended.
Background
Council has expanded pedestrian areas on Miller Street, North Sydney, by installing ‘pop-up’ (temporary) footpath widening and public space in the block between Pacific Highway and Berry Street. New pedestrian space has been created by closing sections of kerb side traffic/parking lanes and adjusting the central lanes. Two-way vehicle and bus access is still available along Miller Street.
The project includes:
widened/expanded footpaths, providing more room and improved access for people walking along Miller Street
seating areas for people to eat, rest etc.
umbrellas and ‘giant’ pot plants providing shade and shelter from road areas
relocation of one bus stop (on the west side of Miller Street in front of Woolworths) approx. 60m south of the previous location
landscaping to improve amenity and encourage activity in the area
a public outdoor piano
The project has been supported and funded by the NSW Government under the Streets as Shared Spaces program. The key aims are to provide better quality public space for the North Sydney community, increase vibrancy in the CBD, and support business and retail activity. The project was initially planned to be in place for six months, with the option to extend subject to community feedback. Most of the products and materials used can also be reused or relocated at the conclusion of the project.
Longer term, Council is proposing the full closure of this block of Miller Street to facilitate the implementation of a pedestrian plaza - ‘Miller Place’ - as part of the North Sydney Public Domain Strategy. The ‘pop-up’ project is an opportunity to trial changes and features that might form part of a permanent plaza. Council sought feedback about what the community liked about the pop-up, what could be improved, and what might work well as part of a permanent plaza.
The project also included the closure of the left turn ‘slip lane’ from the Pacific Highway (southbound) into Miller Street, so that vehicles are no longer able to turn left from Pacific Highway into Miller Street. This change was made to improve pedestrian safety and access at this intersection.

Inform key stakeholders, primarily neighbouring property owners/tenants to ensure awareness of the impending pop-up works and provide an opportunity to ask questions. The option of onsite meetings was offered to key stakeholders late April 2021.
