Helensburgh Masterplan

After many months of discussions with the community, Wollongong Council last week approved the Helensburgh Town Centre Plan and the Streetscape Masterplan.

Stage 1 of the plan primarily focusses on the crossing points, pedestrian ramps, pedestrian refuges and the roundabout on the intersection of the Parkes & Walker Streets. The community will be provided with information on the design and construction at a later date, with a web page to be created by Wollongong Council to provide us with information on the works and regular updates.  The council have also confirmed that the Parkes Street car park (on the southern edge of Chares Harper Park) will remain as it is for the foreseeable future, to give council time to observe how the car park interacts with the new raised crossing.

Stage 2 works (which will follow on from Stage 1) will focus on Walker Street, and more news on this will come next year.
