North Sydney Post Office Plaza

Feedback closes on Sunday 8 November2026

Shape a new space in the heart of North Sydney

North Sydney Council is seeking feedback on a long-term proposal for a Post Office Plaza, first identified in the 2019 North Sydney CBD Public Domain Strategy.

The Strategy proposed transforming part of Mount Street into a new public plaza outside the historic North Sydney Post Office.The site is a landmark in North Sydney's CBD and offers an opportunity to create a welcoming, accessible, and vibrant public space for residents, workers, and visitors.

Council wants to understand what people think of changing the area, any ideas on what they would like it to become and how they might use it in the future.

Your feedback will help inform future planning, technical investigations and the development of a concept design for the site.

About the project

The former North Sydney Post Office is one of the area's most recognisable heritage landmarks located on the intersection of Pacific Highway and Mount Street.

The 2019 North Sydney CBD Public Domain Strategy identified the square as part of a network of North Sydney plazas, parks and public spaces intended to act as "communal urban rooms" where the community can celebrate, share, interact or relax.

As part of Council's adopted Delivery Program 2025-2029 and Operational Plan 2026-2027, Council has committed to commencing the design of a new public plaza outside the former Post Office building and undertaking community engagement to help shape the project. Accessibility and inclusion principles will be incorporated into the design process.

At this stage, no concept design has been prepared, although an artist's impression has been created to help reimagine the space; no final decisions have been made about the area's future layout.

This consultation represents the first opportunity for the community to help identify:

Opportunities for improvement
Curent issues and challenges
Desired future uses
Access and connectivity needs
Public domain prioirities
Community aspirations for the space

Your feedback will assist Council in preparing a desing brief and informing future project investigations.
