Neutral Bay to Mosman route: street, walking and cycling upgrades

Project Overview

Consultation extended to Tuesday 7 April 2026

Project Overview:

North Sydney Council is committed to improving your streets to provide a safe, active and connected local area. Council is seeking your feedback on proposed upgrades on sections of Yeo St, Wycombe Rd, Harrison St, Rangers Rd and Spofforth St between Neutral Bay and Mosman.

This project design is proudly funded through Transport for NSW's Get NSW Active grant.

Why?

During consultation on our Integrated Transport Strategy, our community told us they want greater access to sustainable transport options. This project will deliver changes that support healthy and active travel, and provide more transport choices - making it easier to move around without a private vehicle. It will help to:

  • Reduce traffic on local roads from drivers avoiding Military Road,
  • Make it safer for local children to walk and cycle to Neutral Bay Public School and Redlands Junior Campus,
  • Improve conditions for everyone walking throughout the route, and
  • Improve an important connection in North Sydney’s cycling network.

Proposed Improvements:
  • Public domain improvements, including pavement renewal and new tree planting.
  • Upgraded and new pedestrian crossing points at Watson St, Bydown St, Spofforth St and Rangers Avenue.
  • Continuous footpaths across Palmer St, Bydown St, Barry St, Rangers Lane, Harrison & Rangers, and outside Sydney Life Church on Yeo Street.
  • Pavement and pram ramp upgrades at Ben Boyd Rd, Wycombe Rd and Murdoch St.
  • A new separated cycleway along Yeo St, Wycombe Rd, Harrison St, Rangers Rd and Spofforth St, between Bent St and Rangers Ave.
What's changing?
  • 59parking spaces will be relocated within the project area, but there’s no net loss of parking overall.
  • 5 trees will be removed, but 10 will be planted - providing a gain of 5 trees.
  • Changes to the right hand turn for traffic heading eastbound and southbound on Wycombe Rd(AM/PM peak, buses excepted) to simplify movements through the intersection and reduce conflicts, plus convert the turn restriction from Spofforth St to Cranbrook Ave from part-time to permanent.
  • Remove a pair of bus stops on Spofforth St to accommodate parking and a pedestrian and cyclist crossing.
  • Conversion of Barry and Harrison Streets to one-way for vehicles, to accommodate cycleway and relocated car parking spaces.
