Randwick Council has developed a draft Public Domain Masterplan and Implementation Plan for the Matraville Town Centre.

Based on feedback from the community in 2021, the masterplan is a long-term plan for the town centre, which will guide future public domain improvements for the next 10-20 years.

The plan aims to create a distinctive town centre with gathering spaces and welcoming gateways, more outdoor dining and opportunities for community events. There will be improved tree cover and a focus on pedestrians with wider footpaths, walking connections and more dining and retail activities.

Highlights of the masterplan*:

  • Widened footpaths on Bunnerong Road to create spaces for outdoor dining and increased pedestrian safety
  • New and revitalised outdoor spaces for people to meet
  • More pedestrian crossings
  • Reduced speed limit along Bunnerong Road to 40km/ph
  • Provision for a future cycle way on Bunnerong Road
  • Opportunities for Indigenous and local art installations
  • New street furniture, lighting, landscaping and paving
  • Increased tree planting and canopy coverage on Bunnerong Road and surrounding streets

*Note: Any changes in the masterplan to Bunnerong Road will be subject to support and approval by the State Government.

A draft Implementation Plan has been developed to support the masterplan and outlines the three stages of design (small, medium and large) proposed to achieve the long term vision of the Masterplan.
