Gordon Illustrative Concept Plan

Key public domain elements of Gordon centre in summary comprise the following:

• A “Retail Core” on the western side of the Pacific Highway, between Dumaresq Street and St Johns Avenue focused around a newly created public urban space on Moree Street.

• A boutique retail and leisure precinct in the central area of Gordon providing improved main street shops along the Pacific Highway with new specialty shops, offices, and residential apartments on upper floors. Wade Lane will become activated with retail shops on one side of the street looking out across a new urban park which will be created on Council’s land.

• A “Civic Hub” around Park Avenue and the Pacific Highway comprising a range of improved civic and community facilities and a public park.

• A “Transport Hub” in the St Johns Avenue and Henry Street area with an expanded bus interchange, new taxi ranks and kiss-and-ride facilities. St Johns Avenue itself will be enhanced as a small scale shopping street with a new urban square at the entrance to the rail station.

• Across the centre pedestrian and cycle access and safety will be improved with the provision of new streets and lanes, and new pedestrian access ways as well as upgrading of existing footpath areas.
