Narrabeen makeover
Clever design and landscaping has
resulted in a major transformation
of Narrabeen’s commuter precinct.
Works throughout the precinct adjacent
to Berry Reserve – funded by the NSW
Government’s B-Line project – included
the construction of new amenities,
landscaping, new pedestrian plaza,
installation of CCTV, undercover bicycle
storage, extra lighting, new basketball
area and a redesigned car park with
around 40 additional spaces. Local MP
Rob Stokes said the new facilities and
extensive landscaping had revitalised
the area and transformed it into a
modern and more user-friendly space.
“To be frank, the area was ugly and
unpleasant – the old amenities block
(top) was a blight on the whole area,” he
said. “An injection of funds and some
clever design and landscaping (bottom)
was exactly what this area needed.”
