Randwick council has announced plans to transform McKeon Street Maroubra into a pedestrian friendly plaza to “increase the amount of space available to the public and improve access to local businesses”.
Beginning September this year, McKeon Street will be temporarily converted and redesigned into a public space for a 6 month trial on the viability of the project. The decision from Randwick Council came with $500,000 grant funding from the NSW Government’s Streets as Shared Spaces program.
Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker said that this project is unique “because it’s a beach side location, and when we add in activations such as pop-up music performance, street furniture and public art, areas like this can enlighten a community’s character.”
“We’re hopeful that this will turn out to be a massive success.”
We’re planning to create a new public plaza at McKeon Street, Maroubra as part of a six-month trial period. What would you like to see here? Here, I explain what’s on the cards. Have your say using this link: https://t.co/OQGdX0XVyv pic.twitter.com/B0w7XCWpCF
