The City of Sydney is taking steps to make their CBD more pedestrian-friendly, beginning works to convert 9,000 square metres from Town Hall to Railway Square to car-free space.

The works will also include a new public space in Surry Hills, with work set to start in 2022. 

Sydney’s Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the $43.5 million project will be a boost for the local economy and support recovery from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
