Access and Movement

The internal movement network will increase the overall permeability and accessibility within the site and to other local networks. Public access movement along the foreshore (east west) and north south avenue completes a green loop around Concord that connects a sequence of open space with Concord (Majors Bay Road) local centre. Pedestrian networks are a key focus of the revised Concept Plan and include:  Defi ning a new public access street network that knits the site into the existing community.  Providing a highly permeable network for pedestrian and cycle pathways through the site allowing access from Burwood Road to the foreshore.  Scale of streets for pedestrians comfort and for local traffi c.  Providing a through-site link to enhance the Hen and Chicken Bay Foreshore Walk which is a green grid corridor identifi ed as important in Council's foreshore strategy.  Providing connectivity to the existing surrounding street network including bus stops for routes connecting to high frequency train stations of Burwood and Strathfi eld, as well as the potential connection to future Sydney Metro West Station(s).  Providing car parking in response to sustainability initiatives whilst meeting anticipated demand.
