Construction update 19.05.25

19 May 2025

We’re ready to start works to upgrade Crown Street between Collins Street to Arthur Street.

Our upgrade will make Crown Street greener, help increase passing trade for local businesses and make it easier for people to walk and ride. We will install upgraded footpaths, new garden beds, alfresco dining spaces, new lighting, around 40 more trees and 10 new parking spaces. Learn more about the upgrade online at city.sydney/crown-st

What to expect during construction work

The City’s contractor, Sydney Civil will take steps to minimise potential impacts. However, there will be machinery noise, temporary restrictions to vehicle parking and temporary alternative pedestrian access.

We will also erect temporary fencing and install water-filled barriers to create a safe working area for our construction team and the community.

In the event of wet weather or other delays, work will commence the following day. If unsuitable weather or other delays continues, we will notify of the change in scheduling. Please subscribe to receive email updates.

Sydney Civil will also provide temporary site amenities for our workers nearby. The site amenities will operate from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 4pm on Saturdays. We will notify local residents and businesses if we need to work outside these times to support any required night works.

Traffic controllers will be operating during working hours above to assist access including bin collection. The temporary closure of laneways and driveways will be continuous to allow construction work to take place safely.
