The NSW Government is upgrading the roads around the new Northern Beaches Hospital and improving capacity along Warringah Road.
The hospital is located close to Warringah Road, Forest Way and Wakehurst Parkway, which are major arterial roads serving Sydney’s northern suburbs. Together these arterials currently carry about 140,000 vehicles per day.

Roads and Maritime investigated the current use of the mid-block pedestrian crossing due to safety concerns. Pedestrian volumes were measured during morning and afternoon peak periods on a weekday and across a 12-hour period on the weekend. A total of 17 pedestrians used the mid-block crossing during the morning peak period and 13 during the afternoon peak period during the weekday. A total of 40 pedestrians used the mid-block crossing during the 12-hour period on the weekend, with a maximum of eight pedestrians per hour. Due to the low volumes of use and safety concerns raised by the community, we have decided to close access as part of our project to improve Stacey Street. Alternative pedestrian access is available at the signalised intersections of Stacey Street and Macauley Avenue.
Covering the open drain on Stacey Street was investigated and considered as part of this project. A number of possible solutions were discussed with key stakeholders including Sydney Water and the City of Canterbury Bankstown. Due to the constraints of the existing drain structure, covering the drain completely or partially would impact the effective flood management of the drain. This would cause flooding on Stacey Street, including further down the road corridor and therefore was not able to be considered further as part of this project.
Roads and Maritime is currently working with the City of Canterbury Bankstown to develop a final design for stage three intersection improvements on Stacey Street, Stanley Street and Salvia Avenue. We are currently looking at options that will minimise the impact to Stevens Reserve whilst balancing the aims of the project. The community will be updated as this stage of the project progresses.
We will be in your local area during May to talk about the upcoming pedestrian bridge at Kirrawee. Our 360 view tool and members from the project team will be available to answer your questions at:
