About 13 on-street parking spaces along Blues Point Road could be removed under proposed safety works in McMahons Point, where new crossings, speed cushions and other traffic-calming measures are planned.
North Sydney authorities are seeking community feedback on the package, developed in response to longstanding concerns about speeding, dangerous driving behaviour, traffic noise and pedestrian safety in the area.
The road is the main through route in McMahons Point, providing access to local shops, public transport, parks and waterfront destinations. The proposed works are intended to improve pedestrian access, encourage lower vehicle speeds and create a quieter, more pedestrian-friendly environment.
Parking Changes Along Blues Point Road
Approximately 13 on-street parking spaces would be removed to accommodate the proposed pedestrian crossings. The parking changes are proposed to provide safe sight lines for pedestrians, support traffic-calming measures and create opportunities for streetscape improvements.
Raised pedestrian crossings are proposed south of French Street and south of McManus Street. At the junction with Henry Lawson Avenue, the existing pedestrian refuge island would also be replaced with a raised crossing.
A new pedestrian crossing is proposed across Henry Lawson Avenue, together with continuous footpath treatments at the entrance to the 10 km/h shared zone at the southern end of the road and across Warung Street. Kerb extensions, landscaping and additional street trees are also proposed at the intersection.
The existing in-lane bus stop near French Street would be relocated and upgraded to a position south of the new crossing. The loading zone would move further south beyond the relocated bus stop.
Crossings And Traffic Calming Across McMahons Point
Speed cushions are proposed along the main road and Henry Lawson Avenue to encourage lower vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety. Listed locations include south of Princes Street, between East Crescent Street and French Street, beside Nottingham Street Reserve, north of Parker Street and south of West Crescent Street.
Gateway treatments are also proposed at key entry points to the McMahons Point peninsula. These include continuous footpaths at Chuter Street and Thomas Street south of Union Street and a kerb build-out at Waiwera Street south of Lavender Street.
The package would support an application to Transport for NSW to reduce speed limits throughout the McMahons Point peninsula to 40 km/h.
Feedback Open Until 30 August
Community feedback received over a number of years has identified speeding, dangerous driving behaviour, traffic noise, difficulties crossing the road and concerns about the pedestrian environment.
Consultation runs from 31 July to Sunday, 30 August 2026. Residents, businesses and visitors can review the concept plans and provide feedback online, by email or by post, with submissions to help inform the detailed design.
