Sharing our streets to help local businesses

We are excited to be able to roll out a series of road closures to activate recreational and commercial areas over the coming months.

It is well known the impact that Covid-19 has had on our hospitality industry, reducing numbers of patrons at many of our restaurants and cafes. 

This initiative will provide an opportunity to create places for people to support our local venues and help bring communities together in a safe and relaxing way, increasing outdoor dining and car-free areas for walking and cycling.

The pilot street closures will take place in the following locations:

Tania Park, Balgowlah Heights - Sunday 11 October, 6am – 4pm, Sunday 15 November, 6am – 9.30am  and Sunday 13 December, 6am – 9.30amThe Strand, Dee Why – Wednesday 28 October, 10pm – Monday 2 November, 12noon Robertson Road, Newport – Friday 13 November 5pm - Monday 16 November, 10amWaratah Street, Mona Vale – Thursday 19 November, 10pm to Monday 23 November, 10am

This project has been made possible from funding through the NSW Government’s ‘Streets as Shared Space program’. The program awards grants to NSW councils to install temporary activation projects that support communities during the pandemic and tests ideas for future installations.
