We're focussed on improving Warrawong's Town Centre and supporting its growth to become a key cultural destination offering appealing public places.
We set out our vision for Warrawong as well as the actions Council can take to renew the Town Centre in the Warrawong Town Centre Masterplan, which was endorsed in 2013.
One of the key areas within the Warrawong Town Centre Masterplan was to tap into Cowper Street's potential as a community hub. We want to upgrade and rejuvenate Cowper Street to make it easier for pedestrians to get around, safer and more attractive for people to enjoy this key public space.
Through targeted community engagement, residents have told us what they want to see in the Town Centre. Residents told us they care about:
- Pedestrian safety with improvements such as better crossings and wider footways
- Shade trees, spaces to sit and meet up with friends and family
- Opportunities for outdoor dining is a must
- Areas are needed to celebrate the unique culture of the Warrawong community.
This valuable feedback has been used to draft the Warrawong Streetscape Upgrade Plan. This draft Plan spells out the upgrades we're proposing for Cowper Street. We've included concept plans, illustrative images and artist impressions of what this could look like as well as examples of the proposed traffic changes that make the wider footways possible,
