St Leonards and Crows Nest 2036 / Draft Plan / 17
DRAFT PlanLANDSCAPE
Public open space
More and better quality public open space is very important to the community according to feedback to draft Local Character Statement consultation.
The draft Plan is supported by a draft Green Plan which identifies open space opportunities for implementation as part of this plan and aspirational, long term projects for future proofing.
Two key opportunities identified for delivery by 2036:
• Improving connections to regional open space via a continuous north-south link known as the ‘foreshore to foreshore’ link. The link will run along Lithgow Street between River Road and Pacific Highway where a ‘linear park’ will be created by widening the curb beside the train line. The link will then connect to Lane Cove Council’s proposed over rail plaza and St Leonards Station before continuing north to Talus Reserve via Evans Lane. A connection is proposed to the Royal North Shore Hospital by extending the Herbert Street bridge to Evans Lane (for pedestrian and cyclist access only). Improvements are also proposed to the existing path between Talus Reserve and Naremburn Park. Benefits include:
• Improved access to existing open space and other key destinations in the area; and,
• Improved amenity of existing streets and open spaces.
• Expansion of Hume Street Park to create a large multi-function green open space in the heart of St Leonards and Crows Nest. North Sydney Council has begun plans to expand Hume Street Park by converting Hume Lane into park land and acquiring three shops facing Hume Lane and a further shop on Willoughby Road. The draft Plan proposes additional expansion over time through negotiated acquisition. Benefits include:
• Creation of a generous open space close to future high density;
• Open space near the existing Willoughby Road shops;
• Creation of transition space between high density areas in St Leonards and and the Crows Nest ‘Village’; and
• The space will be configured and orientated for access to sunlight which is important to the community.

DRAFT PlanLANDSCAPE
Tree canopy
In feedback to Local Character Statement consultation, the community said that they would like to see the existing network of tree lined streets retained and enhanced.
The Public Domain Study identified opportunities to improve tree canopy cover on streets with asymmetrical tree planting and setbacks. These setbacks allow for a double row of trees along sunny streets that can act as important transition areas and pedestrian links. Plans for green streets include:
• Mitchell Street a landscaped setback between Chandos Street and Mitchell Street Plaza will allow more daylight access to the street and plaza;
• Chandos Street –a landscaped setback on the sunny southern side of Chandos Street will act as a transition from high rise to low scale buildings on the north; and,
• Oxley Street – a landscaped setback on the western side of Oxley Street will improve the interface with low scale areas to the east at the boundary between St Leonards and Crows Nest suburbs.
Landscaped setbacks for avenue tree planting are also proposed along Pacific Highway.
The draft Green Plan provides a long-term framework for increasing canopy tree cover up to 40% depending on land uses. The draft Green Plan identifies streets that should be the focus of new street tree planning. These include Herbert Street, Lithgow Street, Berry Road, Park Road, Wheatley Street and Falcon Street.

Natural environment
There is growing awareness that connections to the natural environment is positive for wellbeing.
The area has both formal and informal landscape elements that provide a connection to the natural environment.
The following opportunities have been identified for further investigation to improve connections to nature:
• Greening of storm water corridors.
• Converting available space along the railway corridor into a linear park, as part of the foreshore to foreshore link.
• Improving links to Lane Cove Bushland.
Topography
The steep topography of the area is integral to its character. The draft Plan identifies opportunities to work with the slope of the land to get more use out of steep open spaces and capture views towards the city.
Concept plans for the foreshore to foreshore link include a curved path designed to temper the slope for pedestrians and cyclists.
