High Pedestrian Area - Road & Safety Upgrade - Rose Bay Centre

As part of Woollahra Council’s 2024/25 Infrastructure Works Program and in association with the Active Transport Plan 2023, Council is undertaking works to reduce vehicle speed limits in streets in Rose Bay Centre.

This includes streets such as Wilberforce Avenue, Richmond Avenue, Newcastle Street, Dover Road, Norwich Road, Caledonia Road, and Ian Street, Rose Bay.

These high pedestrian areas were identified for upgrade in our Active Transport Plan in 2023. One of the aims of the 10-year plan is to deliver attractive, vibrant and safe walking locations for pedestrians, especially in our centres.

Works include; installation of new 40km/hr speed limit signs, speed limit pavement marking and street print threshold treatments to denote the High Pedestrian Activity Areas (HPAA).

The upgrades are scheduled to start on Monday 26 May 2025 and should be completed within 6 weeks, weather permitting.

Most of the works in the street will be carried out between 7am - 5pm Monday to Friday, and 7am - 1pm on Saturday. However, localised night works will be carried out between 8pm and 4am to comply with Transport for NSW regulations for those sites in close proximity to New South Head Road, which are classified as arterial routes.
