The following touch on items with a high level of interest: car parking and other transport, trees, laneways and events.
- Design Direction 1: Incorporate or reuse existing palms as much as possible in the street, while also adding new shade trees. Selection of additional shade trees to be carried out in collaboration with experienced community representatives.
- Design Direction 2: Limit the loss of car parking as much as possible. Items that may assist include relocating bus stop outside of main street; public and outdoor space outside of IGA and the Middle Pub could be prioritised for parking; EV charging bays could be moved out of centre. It is still expected there will be some loss of carparking in the project area.
- Design Direction 7: Incorporate laneways into the project scope as they are critical to functioning of the town centre. Consider option to change lanes to one-way off Burringbar Street and measures to limit illegal parking at throat of lanes where they meet Burringbar Street.
- Design Direction 9: Potential relocation of bus stop and buses out of main street area to be discussed with Transport for NSW.
- Design Direction 13: Proceed with design to incorporate cyclists into traffic lanes.
- Design Direction 19 & 20: Incorporate planning for events, public art, story-telling and design statements along the street that contribute to the character of Mullumbimby and connection to community and place.
