TRANSCRIPT
Our objective for the Rozelle Interchange Project is to restore a vibrant and healthy landscape throughout Rozelle and create a destination city park for all the community to enjoy. The Project will enhance the Victoria Road corridor at Iron Cove and make a significant contribution to the liveability and greening of this part of The Bays Precinct.
In line with the Minister’s Conditions of Approval we have prepared a draft Urban Design Landscape Plan (UDLP) and would like your help in shaping certain aspects of the future Rozelle Parklands. The UDLP forms part of the Minister’s Conditions of Approval for the Project, and outlines the objectives and proposed design of landscaped open space and amenities to be delivered.
Built on the former rail yards, the Rozelle Parklands will return former industrial land to the community for public use, creating an enduring legacy.
The Victoria Road corridor at Iron Cove will be enhanced with a series of small landscaped areas for path users and nearby residents. Pedestrian paths and cycleways in and around Iron Cove, Rozelle and the Inner West of Sydney will be enhanced through new and revitalised active transport links.
This draft UDLP will be on display for public exhibition for 21 days. You can find out more and make submissions on the UDLP by accessing the UDLP Virtual Information Centre at: https://rozelleinterchange.com.au/UDLP

Key urban design features of the Rozelle Interchange
• A vibrant, new public park within the former Rozelle Rail Yards site.
• Most substations and ventilation systems will be located in tunnel caverns below ground to reduce the physical footprint at the surface and increase the available coverage for the parklands.
• New and improved pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure including a number of new bridges.
• Landscaped verges and large tree planting along the southern side of Victoria Road at the Iron Cove Link.
• Drainage infrastructure to collect stormwater and groundwater for treatment at dedicated facilities, including a new wetland within the Rozelle Parklands.
• Two new ventilation facilities, one at Rozelle and one at Iron Cove Link.
• Dive structures and tunnel portals at City West Link and Iron Cove Link.

Active Transport networkOne of the key objectives of the UDLP is to provide connectivity in the parkland between existing and proposed active transport routes for local communities, where possible. The UDLP provides detail of the pedestrian and cyclist routes which will reconnect areas of the Inner West of Sydney that have long been separated.
The Project has implemented a comprehensive Safety in Design process during the design phase to ensure the safety of the community, including motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. Figure 2 illustrates the pedestrian and cyclist paths in and around the Rozelle Parklands proposed within the UDLP.

Iron Cove Green LinkAs part of the Iron Cove Link, the Project will establish a ‘Green Link’ along the southern verge that will create an attractive, well-landscaped boulevard to provide much needed amenity for all users.
The existing shared path under the Iron Cove Bridge will be upgraded and reconnected to the existing foreshore parklands including the Bay Run.
The signalised crossing will be reinstated at Toelle and Terry streets maintaining the key north-south connection between the communities of Rozelle and Balmain. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to cross within a wide, landscaped median situated above the cut and cover structure.
PARKLAND FORESTFocused primarily on landscape restoration within a passive parkland setting, this precinct will draw on the character of former vegetation to create an urban forest that supports diverse activities. This includes barbecue areas, picnic areas and playgrounds.
The constructed wetlands will be a focal point in this precinct, located near the 1788 foreshore line.
VILLAGE GREENAs the heart of the Rozelle Rail Yards Park, this precinct will extend the existing recreation and Village Green character across from Easton Park.
This precinct will combine active recreation in the form of organised sports and play opportunities, also allowing for temporary uses such as community-based events and/ or market gardens in the future.
RAIL PARKReflecting on the legacy of former rail yards, this precinct will have a strong post-industrial feel that will tie the parkland to the natural and cultural history of the area.
INFANT PLAY AREA A play area for infants will be built as described further in Section 10 of the UDLP.
RETAINED HERITAGE TERRACES ON LILYFIELD ROADThe two heritage listed terraces (78-84 Lilyfield Road) have been retained and will be safeguarded for potential re-use in the future.
PARKLAND AMENITIES BUILDINGThe amenities building has been strategically located to service the entire park, and provide convenience for active recreation and infants play.
RAIL PARK The rail park is located at the same location as the former rail yards and will comprise of passive seating and gathering opportunities.
FREE UN-PROGRAMMED SPACE‘Free space’ provides flexibility and opportunity for a broad range of activities.
VICTORIA ROAD PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST UNDERPASS
A new 15 metre wide pedestrian and cyclist underpass will enable east-west connectivity to ANZAC Bridge and the future White Bay precinct.
