Central and Wilmot streets upgrading works

What we’re doing

Minor rectification works are expected within the next few months and community impacts should be minimal.

From 3 July 2015, there are traffic flow changes affecting Wilmot, Central and George streets.

• is closed from the HSBC loading bay to George Street
• is now a shared zone, speed limit is 10km/h.

Central Street

• is one-way entry from George Street to Pitt Street
• is now a shared zone, speed limit is 10km/h
• there is no right turn from George Street into Central Street.

George Street

• no right turn into Central Street
• no left turn for vehicles more than 9m long into Central Street
• new pedestrian crossing signals located to the south of Central Street.

Improvement works

In May 2014 we started the improvement works on Central and Wilmot streets.

The works included:

• raising the road surface level to be flush with the footpath
• continuing the footpath at George Street and Pitt Street
• installing new drainage and new lighting
• providing shared zones
• removing the 2 police-only parking spots next to Central Court House
• making the 2 loading zone spaces for delivery vehicles only (no parking outside of loading zone times)
• converting the existing intersection signals at George and Central streets into a mid-block crossing south of Central Street.
