Artarmon Local Centre Public Domain Master Plan & Hampden Rd Upgrade

Construction has begun to create more pedestrian-friendly streets around the high pedestrian activity areas of Artarmon Village and Artarmon train station.

The improvement works are part of the Artarmon Local Centre Public Domain Masterplan which was adopted by Council on 9 December 2019 following three extensive rounds of community consultation. The Local Centres Strategy provides the future planning control framework for seven local centres across Willoughby.

The Artarmon Local Centre Strategy can be found on page 12 of the final Local Centre Strategy to the right of this screen.

The current works underway in Artarmon will be delivered in two stages:

Stage 1: Traffic calming devices

Stage 2: Traffic and pedestrian signals at the intersection of Hampden Road and Broughton Road; and an upgrade to the park adjacent to the railway line around the entry to the station, including the installation of new toilet/amenities block

Works commence on Monday 26 April and is expected to be completed by early July 2021 (weather permitting).

BACKGROUND

The Artarmon Local Centre Public Domain Masterplan

The Artarmon Local Centre Public Domain Masterplan develops a long term vision for the public domain areas on the western side of the railway line in Artarmon Local Centre. The plan builds on a number of existing strategies and plans, including the Draft Willoughby Local Centres Strategy to 2036 and incorporates community feedback received through extensive consultation with the local community since early 2017 for the Strategy. The Artarmon Local Centre Public Domain Masterplan will guide future projects in the western side of Artarmon Local Centre, including the Hampden Road Public Domain Upgrade.

Hampden Road Public Domain Upgrade

Focused around the Broughton Road and Hampden Road intersection, the upgrade will include the construction of traffic calming devices on both sides of the railway line in Elizabeth Street, Hampden Road, Francis Road, Broughton Road and Jersey Road. Works will also include the installation of a new signalised intersection at Broughton Road and Hampden Road and an upgrade to the park adjacent to the railway line around the entry to the station, including a new toilet/amenities block, a terraced seating area, new shared paths and paving, new street furniture and new plantings and street trees.

The purpose of this community consultation was to inform interested residents of the proposed works and seek comments prior to finalising plans and programming for the project.
