Background
Whistler Street and Central Avenue are the next stage to the Manly CBD upgrade works, with works already completed in The Corso, Raglan Street, Sydney Road, Henrietta Lane and Manly Plaza.
The works on Whistler Street and Central Avenue consist of streetscape upgrades, paving treatments, new street furniture and paving to alleviate pedestrian pinch points on pathways.
The former Manly Council developed and exhibited the Manly 2015 Masterplan and it was included in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP). The intention of the Masterplan is to build on the existing village character and opportunities that Manly presently enjoys as a vibrant bustling beachside town and tourist destination. The vision for the Manly Masterplan is to ensure that Manly moves into the 21st century as a compact urban village in beautiful natural surroundings and a prosperous, sustainable, vibrant place with improved liveability and community amenity.
RFT 2017/034 was issued on 25/02/17 and closed at 2pm on 23/03/17.
Updates
Following the recent completion of beautification upgrades to Whistler Street Car Park, we have now commenced much needed structural remediation works to remove deteriorated concrete edges on all of the car park levels.
These works require a full external perimeter balustrade replacement and remediation of the concrete edge.

These works are expected to be complete by end of October 2019. During this time, we encourage the use of Council's other parking stations located in Central Avenue and Wentworth Street.
Night works may be required to carry scaffold and hoarding works and on occasions there will be some early morning deliveries for bulky materials.

Work that was scheduled to commence on Monday 26 March along Belgrave Street and Sydney Road, Manly has been delayed due to wet weather and contractor availability. Work will now start after the Easter long weekend.
We apologise for the delay in commencing the work and will keep you posted though the usual channels.
Following a site review of all marked ‘live’ utilities and services along Belgrave Street between Raglan St and Manly Town Hall, we have now developed a plan identifying possible locations for tree installations.
How can I have my say?
We would like your feedback on the possible tree location identified within the plan. If you have any questions, please contact Nathan Innes on 9976 1579.
What size will the trees be?
The new trees will be 200lt with 1.8m of clear trunk before foliage.
Project Timing
Due to the timing required to review possible tree locations, the paving works have been delayed to 26th March (weather permitting).
Between March and June 2018 we will be undertaking the next stage of the Manly CBD upgrades, with the installation of new granite paving along Belgrave Street.
The works will be completed in stages moving along Belgrave Street and consist of:
- The removal of street furniture and signage and the demolition of existing pavement.

There will be minor disruptions to both traffic and pedestrians whilst the works are undertaken. Traffic control will install safety barricades to redirect pedestrians and coordinate temporary parking closures. However, Council and the contractor will be managing this closely to ensure access to businesses and pedestrians is maintained at all times.
The project team will work with the contractors and will also be onsite regularly liaising with businesses, the public and residents during the works.
