Have your Say on Bank Street Park development application
The Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has placed the State Significant Development (SSD) application for Bank Street Park on public exhibition until Thursday 1 February 2024.
The local community and key stakeholders have been integral in informing the park’s design in previous phases of consultation, and the wider community is now encouraged to have their say on the design.
Explore the new park design
A park design transforms land fenced off from the wider community for decades into a green and accessible waterfront park against the backdrop of the iconic ANZAC Bridge.
The proposed park design includes:
-
Recreational facilities including a multipurpose court, playground and fitness station
-
Community building with community space, café, public amenities and marina office
-
Water access and for paddle craft and storage for dragon boats
-
Harbourside promenade and increased accessibility to the water with new footpaths and cycleways
-
Public art, wayfinding and interpretive signage
-
Adaptive reuse of buildings along Bank Street.
