Upgrade works for Cooper Street Reserve and Adelaide Street Reserve, Surry Hills

We’re making 2 small green spaces safer and more pleasant for everyone.

What we’re doing

Works for Cooper Street Reserve include:

  • building retaining and seating walls
  • removing the fencing and a barrier wall to improve access and sightlines
  • creating a shared path
  • adding a water bubbler with dog bowl and bin with dog bag dispenser.

Improvements for Adelaide Street Reserve include new plants under the tree canopy and upgraded paving.

Both reserves will have new bench seats and lighting.

Why we’re doing this

We developed a concept plan for the upgrade of the reserves based on your feedback from our consultation in mid 2023. The design was modified and in mid 2024 we asked you for feedback. We used this feedback to refine the design, which Council approved at its June 2024 meeting.
