A Village Square for Sandringham Village

In our conversations with the community, we heard that you wanted a community meeting place, with more seating, places to relax and spaces for more outdoor dining for the adjacent cafes. This space could be the first Village Square in the City of Bayside. It could provide people with a place to relax on the lawn before catching their train, or provide a location for events and activities.

We have come up with two design options and would like to share them with you and understand what you like and don’t like. Have a look at the drawing that illustrates the options for this space.

Option 01 delivers a sizeable Village Square in front of the Railway Station. Two way traffic is maintained along Station Street, but the split roadway is removed and made into public space. To create this Village Square we would need to:

• Re-route the bus service, when the split roadway is removed busses will not be able to turn-around in the Village
• Relocate/remove 6 short-term car parking

Option 02 makes only minor changes to the current design, by converting three car parking spaces alongside the cafes into footpath for more outdoor dining and a wider footpath.

This survey has concluded and the information gathered has gone towards developing the Draft Streetscape Masterplan.

A community space on Waltham Street

The corner of Waltham Street and Chalmers Ave, between the Library and the supermarket could become a community space where people could pause, sit and gather. We have come up with three design options and would like to share them with you and understand what you like and don’t like. Have a look at the drawing that illustrates the options and the potential this space has.

Option 01 converts four car parking spaces and turns the space into a community space, with more seating planting and opportunities for people to gather. It creates a proper entry for both the Library and the supermarket. Works will include a raised pedestrian crossing to improve people’s safety.

Option 02 converts two car parking spaces to create a slightly larger space than is currently there, with some of the above mentioned benefits. Works will include a raised pedestrian crossing to improve people’s safety.

Option 03 isn’t illustrated, but retains the existing car parking arrangement and improves the footpath space available. Works will include a raised pedestrian crossing to improve people’s safety.

This survey has concluded and the information gathered has gone towards developing the Draft Streetscape Masterplan.

Widening of footpaths along Station Street

Station Street between Melrose Street and Bay Road is wider than required under the Australian Standard. This provides an opportunity to widen the footpath without affecting car parking or traffic movement, making it easier for people to walk around the centre, enabling traders to offer outdoor dining and for planting new street trees.

Narrowing the roadway will also make it easier and safer for people to cross the Street. As part of these works there is the opportunity to plant more trees in-between carparks and extend the footpath island and crossing ramp to make a safer and more enjoyable area
