Liverpool is set to be tranformed under a 10-year plan to make the city centre greener and more vibrant.
Images released by Liverpool Council reveal how the CBD will be overhauled under the Liverpool City Centre Public Domain Master Plan, a guide to developing public space over the next decade.
To help realise that vision, there are 76 council projects in the pipeline including upgrades to Brickmakers Creek and Light Horse Park being developed.
Other improvements flagged under the plan include wider footpaths and dedicated cycleways, more street trees and vegetation, public art, better furniture, pedestrian lighting and new paving materials.
“The 76 council projects highlighted in this plan will supercharge our fast-growing city centre, ensuring it remains a great place to live, work, invest, study and visit,” Liverpool Mayor Waller said.
“Over the next 12 months, we’ll be planting 245 mature trees and upgrading pavements along many well-used city centre streets.”
Over the next 12 months, residents can expect to see mature trees planted and new paving along Elizabeth, Bigge, George, Northumberland and Bathurst streets, as well as Memorial Ave.
Mature trees will also be planted at local parks including Bigge Park, Pioneers Memorial Rest Park and Hart Park.
A facelift for Railway Serviceway is also in the works to boost foot traffic and vibrancy, with new line markings, giant potted trees, shade umbrellas and seating to be installed.
Cr Waller said the council had begun assessing development applications against the master plan’s design standards “to ensure they are cohesive with our vision for Sydney’s third CBD”.
