On the 4 October 2022 Council resolved to place the Draft 40 km/h High Pedestrian Activity Area (HPAA) Study of Strathfield and Homebush Town Centres on public exhibition.

Background:

In December 2021 Council received Grant funding to undertake the Strathfield and Homebush Town Centres 40 km/h (HPAA) Studies as part of the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) 40 km/h (HPAA) Program.

The HPAA Program commenced in 2003 and is funded and managed by the TfNSW’s Centre for Road Safety (CRS). It provides for the design and implementation of traffic calming and pedestrian infrastructure and strategies to create self-enforcing 40 km/h speed environments in locations with a high level of interaction between pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Study Areas:

Strathfield Town Centre

The Study Area for the Strathfield Town Centre is bordered by the railway line to the north, Strathfield Square and Churchill Avenue to the south, The Boulevarde to the east and Raw Square to the west.  The Boulevarde south to Redmyre Road has also been considered, as this intersection represents one of the key entry points to the Study Area, and moreover a key gateway location.

Homebush Town Centre

The Study Area for the Homebush Town Centre as nominated by Council is bordered by the railway line and The Crescent to the north, Abbotsford Road to the south, and extends midway along Burlington Road, Abbotsford Road, and The Crescent to the east and west.
