Concept Plan Moonee Street / Park Avenue Street Upgrade

You can now view our adopted Plan and Concept Design Report for an upgraded Park Avenue and Moonee Street.

About Park Avenue and Moonee Street

Located in the City Centre, Park Avenue and Moonee Street are currently not functioning for the people. With a dominance of cars and lack of space and poor design for people, this is causing an effect on how the street functions which can been seen by the absence of kerb side activity, and an overall lack of visual appeal. With poor pedestrian links, people who walk and cycle are discouraged by the constant traffic flow, along with the barriers of on-street parking and roundabouts with difficult and dangerous street crossings.

About the draft Plan and Concept Design Report

Coffs Harbour City Council has recently engaged consultancy firm Redbelly Architects and GHD Engineering to develop a draft Moonee Street and Park Avenue Streetscape Reconfiguration Plan that analyses the existing streetscapes and provide clear design direction for the future. This project is a key outcome for the City Centre Masterplan, which included extensive community consultation, and can be viewed here. The project also incorporates the NSW Movement and Place Framework into its design. Click here to learn more about the NSW Movement and Place Framework.

This project presents a unique opportunity to re-imagine the streetscapes in a holistic and coordinated manner. It explores the inclusion of attractive new community spaces and integrates cycling and pedestrian as safe and convenient and recognises these actions as essential components of a functioning streetscape. These key changes will provide a catalyst for much-needed urban renewal of the Coffs Harbour City Centre and align with the future Coffs Harbour Place and Movement Strategy (estimated to be open for public consultation end of April 2022) that encapsulates the NSW Movement and Place Framework and how it will apply and work within our region.

To view the site plan please see the Concept Design Plan. To see the analysis and site specific plans please see the Concept Design Report. To see what the project will look like on the ground, the project has also been modelled and can be viewed via a 3D Fly through which you can access here.

This project will also include developing concepts to 15% design development. This level of detail provides Council with confidence that proposals have been developed with sufficient consideration to appropriate design standards for road layout. Proposals are sufficiently detailed to provide a basis for cost estimates and future detailed design development as construction budgets and grant funding become available.
