Project Background

The Queen Street/Elizabeth Street precinct in Croydon is a thriving area with a diverse mix of residential and retail land use and community facilities. The precinct is extremely popular with the local community but also attracts visitors from outside of the area due to its selection of eateries, retail shops and its popular children's playground.

In October 2022, we consulted with the local community in Croydon to identify any issues or opportunities related to the Queen & Elizabeth Street Road reconstruction project. Based on community feedback, we will revise the road alignment and surface treatments to enhance road safety and prepare for future decades. You can view the concept plans and illustrations here.
