Military Road Cremorne public domain upgrade

Public Domain Upgrades in Cremorne on Military Road

At the May 2019 Council meeting Council voted unanimously to award the public domain upgrade works on Military Rd in Neutral Bay and Cremorne to the highest ranked tenderer. The contractor for these works CA&I Pty Ltd.

Public domain upgrades will occur in Cremorne on Military Road between Cremorne Garden plaza and MacPherson St (north side of Military Rd) and Spencer St and Spofforth St (on the south side). The upgrade works are funded by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and includes:

Where are the works commencing?

Previously in early October Council’s Contractor, CA&I, provided a notification that works were starting on Military Road Cremorne, between Spofforth Street to Cabramatta Road (South Side).

Works did commence, but CA&I was unable to gain agreement with the approving authorities on their traffic plans and temporary bus stops to do the works on days, and the works were placed On Hold. While we will continue to work on reaching these agreements, we will start works in another stage in Nov 2019. 

The upgrade for Cremorne is shown in red shading in the image below. This upgrade is undertaken in stages with the next stage being the south side footpath of Military Road Cremorne, between Spencer Road and Cabramatta Road (Zone 12).

When will the works take place?

Works will commence on Monday 18 November 2019 for a duration of 4 weeks.

These works will be conducted during daytime, works will take place from 7am to 7pm.

The Transport Management Centre has granted special approval for this location to undertake daytime works.

Tree install is ongoing with all expected trees in Cremorne to be planted by end of November.

What disruption is expected?

Council will be working closely with CA&I to minimise disruption to residents and businesses.

We will endeavor to provide access to shops and businesses at all times, however, there will be some unavoidable disruptions to access, parking and pedestrian traffic.

We will also endeavor to minimise the noise from our works, but some construction activities will generate unavoidable noise.

Amenities are stored as per below image (and see related documents).

Why are the works taking place?

The works are part of Council’s ongoing efforts to make the shopping and commercial strip more appealing as a shopping destination for residents and visitors.

The works will include new materials and furniture from our Public Domain Style Manual and Design Codes.
