Planning approval has been given for the main park and infrastructure, including roads, footpaths and traffic lights at the Frasers CUB development in Sydney.
Frasers will commence work immediately on the public park, which is a significant new green space in Chippendale and the centrepiece of the redevelopment of the CUB site.
The park, to be known as Central Park, is the first element of the total urban renewal of the old Carlton and United Brewery site and is expected to be completed within 12 months.
It will comprise around 6,500 sqm and span 115m in length and 50m in width in a rectangular shape.
It will be positioned on the Northern edge of O’Connor Street, with a further three street frontages to new public roads (yet to be named).
Key features of the new park will include:
• a prominent water feature which will divide Central Park into two distinct areas
• a pedestrian boulevarde and cycle route which will run through the centre of the park, connecting Balfour Street across to Broadway and joining Jones Street with the UTS precinct
• extensive landscaping, paving, lighting and seating
• significant public artwork
The Department of Planning is currently assessing four other project applications related to the future residential and commercial buildings proposed for the site.
