Lindfield Avenue and Tryon Road are high pedestrian activity areas surrounding the Lindfield Village Green (LVG).  Council will be upgrading the streetscape to make them more pedestrian friendly and accessible. Construction is anticipated to commence in 2024.

Council adopted a Concept Plan for the works in 2022. View the Concept Plan(PDF, 4MB).

Detail design and construction documentation has commenced. The proposed improvements will include:

• Wider footpaths for freer movement and outdoor dining opportunities.
• New LED street lighting. 
• New raised pedestrian crossings.
• New paving and street trees.
• Additional street furniture. 

The plan includes the provision for improved pedestrian and vehicular movements with the installation of new traffic signals at the intersection of Tryon Road and Lindfield Avenue, Lindfield.

Two new signalised intersections are proposed in Lindfield in accordance with the Lindfield Traffic Management Plan adopted by Council at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 26 April 2022. One signalised intersection is proposed at Lindfield Avenue and Tryon Road, which will be delivered as part of the Lindfield Avenue Streetscape Improvement Works. The other is Strickland Avenue and Pacific Highway. These new intersections will assist with the movement of traffic in and out of the Lindfield local centre as well as provide safer crossing points for pedestrian movement.

The design of the signalised intersections is progressing and are partly funded by Section 7.11 Contributions. In line with the adopted Lindfield Traffic Management Plan, the signalised intersection at Balfour Street and Pacific Highway will be upgraded. The design works are also progressing and are partly funded by Section 7.11 Contributions.

St Johns Avenue, between the Pacific Highway and Gordon train station, has been upgraded. Improvements to Henry Street are also now complete. The works were funded through Section 7.11 contributions. The completed works include wider footpaths, outdoor dining, new pavements, street furniture and tree planting. Heritage Square will be upgraded as part of Stage 2 of the works so it is more accessible and better integrated into the St Johns Avenue public domain.

Other features included:

• Landscaped terraced areas for outdoor dining.
• Landings, handrails and seating.
• Raised pedestrian crossings at Clipsham Lane, Henry Street and Churchill Lane.
• Improvements to lighting and kiss and ride areas.

The improvements to Wade Lane were jointly funded by development contributions and the NSW Government's High Pedestrian Activity Area Program. The Wade Lane upgrade works were completed in 2022.

The streetscape improvements include widened footpaths, high quality paving and outdoor furniture, as well as new raised pedestrian crossings and additional street lighting for improved pedestrian safety.

• New roundabout at the Park and Werona Avenue intersection.
