Impact summary
Social infrastructure: Removal pedestrian island on the intersection, creation/extension of the
western kerb extension on the Wattle Street slip road, creation/extension of the eastern kerb
extension on the Wattle Street slip road and creation/extension pf the pedestrian island on the
intersection reducing pedestrian capacity and amenity
Amenity: Loss of parking provisions during the morning, inter and afternoon weekday peak
periods affecting those that rely on use of these provisions to access the city for commuting,
recreation, shopping and other uses leading to amenity changes, with minor benefit from the
introduction of drop-off/pick-up indented parking bays
Movement: Improvements to vehicular connectivity and movement especially due to the
reallocation of traffic resulting from the construction of the CSELR
Social infrastructure: Creation/extension of the north-east and north-west kerb on the
intersection improving pedestrian capacity and amenity
Movement: Improvements to vehicular connectivity and movement especially due to the
reallocation of traffic resulting from the construction of the CSELR
Public transport: Creation of a bus lane prioritising public transport within the road corridor
Social infrastructure: Removal of the northern kerb extension between George Street and Pitt
Street reducing pedestrian capacity and amenity
Movement: Improvements to vehicular connectivity and movement especially due to the
reallocation of traffic resulting from the construction of the CSELR
Social infrastructure: Alteration/reduction of the western kerb footpath both sides of the Quay
Street intersection reducing pedestrian capacity and amenity
Amenity: Removal of one tree that would have a negligible effect on the area’s amenity
Movement: Improvements to vehicular connectivity and movement
Public transport: Reduce length of the bus lane reducing public transport prioritisation within
the road corridor
