What we’re doing
We invite your feedback on 2 proposed traffic changes in Surry Hills: reopening Holt Street at Devonshire Street as a shared zone and changing Adelaide Place from one-way northbound to one-way southbound.
Why we’re doing this
These changes respond to community concerns and aim to improve access for heavy vehicles servicing businesses in the area. They’re also expected to reduce traffic on Adelaide Place and Steel Street.
