Chatswood Mall to Come Alive in 2010
04 January 2010
The highly anticipated redevelopment of Chatswood Mall is set to commence on Monday 15 February 2010. The upgrades will see Chatswood Mall rejuvenated into a modern and vibrant café and retail promenade offering more dining space, outdoor seating and areas for events and entertainment.
The construction works will be undertaken in stages to maintain public thoroughfare and access to the shops and services located in Chatswood Mall throughout the 10 month construction period.
The final design, which was developed following extensive community consultation, will significantly improve pedestrian circulation and increase the versatility of the space through the creation of a central avenue which will accommodate footway dining, market stalls and public seating.
The new and exciting Chatswood Mall design will feature a central spine formed by a row of deciduous Chinese Elms which will form a natural canopy above seated areas providing shade in the warmer months and allowing winter sun through.
Classic high quality materials such as granite paving and hardwood will be combined with detailed pavers and public art providing a cohesive and interactive design that will both inspire and ensure the mall’s longevity.
“The Chatswood Mall is the backbone of the Chatswood CBD supporting more than 30 000 daily users,” said Willoughby Mayor Pat Reilly. “The much needed redevelopment works will ensure Chatswood Mall will retain a clean and contemporary appearance and will transform Chatswood’s principal gateway into a vibrant and flexible public space by day and night,” he said.
