Protecting and increasing the green and leafy feel is important to the community:

• new feature planting to entrances
• additional planting to existing kerbs
• increase planting to garden areas

Beaumaris Concourse is a place of conversation the following initiatives are designed to strengthen this community connection:

• flexible event space/s within the Concourse Green
• small gathering spaces
• conversational seating (comfortable seating in public spaces)

Community identification and connection to the Beaumaris Concourse is strong, through the consultation we found some people meet friends daily! Below are the initiatives to help to strengthen the village character and make it uniquely Beaumaris:

• consistent, timeless paving
• primary gateway marker
• secondary gateway treatment (e.g. art to blank walls, lighting)
• pedestrian priority treatment
• community exhibition opportunities.

From the consultation it was clear that we needed to make it easier for people to get around, that included making it easier to walk, cycle and drive around the Concourse. Here is what is proposed:

• make it a nicer place to walk and ride
• smooth, clear footpaths, tactile paving
• room for mobility scooters, and sufficient bike parking
• create a pedestrian link between East Concourse to Concourse Green
• improve the central car park

Central Carpark Option

Over 60% of community supported a change in this area.The option proposed creates a dedicated pathway that protects pedestrians from vehicle traffic. This option reduces the number of car park spaces lost from 15 spaces (in previous option) down to 6 spaces. It also creates a garden bed under the trees, supporting the growth of this mature trees.

Three options to make it easier to move through the car park on foot while retaining the existing trees

• Option 1 is a clearly designated path within a shared space for cars and pedestrians
• Option 2 is a separate path for pedestrians along the centre of the car park under the trees requires the loss of 15 carparking spaces.
• Option 3 is a separate path for pedestrians along the centre of the car park under the trees requires a loss of 8 carparking spaces.
  • A separate, dedicated path for pedestrians down one side of the central median, under the trees
  • Conversion to 45 degree parking and a one way system on the side with the path for ease of parking
  • Retain 90 degree parking and a two way system on the other side
  • Complement existing trees with low garden bed planting in the central median
  • Only possible with a loss of 8 car parking spaces
