Raised pedestrian crossings – Owen Street and Hawke Street, Huskisson.

Thanks to funding under the Get NSW Active program, Council is proposing the construction of four crossings on Owen Street and Hawke Street in Huskisson to improve the safety and movement of pedestrians.

About the project

Council has been awarded $880,000 under a Transport for NSW’s grant aimed to encourage walking and bike riding in regional NSW.

The project aims to deliver four raised ‘wombat’ crossings in Huskisson where there is a high volume of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The crossings are proposed for the following locations:

• Two mid-block crossings along Owen Street
• One on Currambene Street at the intersection with Owen Street
• One on Hawke Street.

The proposed project consists of:

• Four raised ‘wombat’ pedestrian crossings, 3m – 4m wide
• Upgraded lighting to suit the crossings
• Kerb and gutter including drainage
• Landscaping to encourage pedestrian directional movement while improving the aesthetics of the crossings
• New parking along Hawke Street to off-set parking spaces lost at crossings.

The project is fully funded by Transport for NSW for design and construction.

Community consultation has commenced on the implementation of these four (4) proposed raised crossings. Please complete the survey by clicking here

The survey closes at 5.00pm on 20 June 2025
