02Beaumaris Concourse Streetscape Master Plan - Concepts
INTRODUCTION
Bayside City Council has commissioned ASPECT Studios to develop a Streetscape Master Plan for Beaumaris Concourse Neighbourhood Activity Centre in Beaumaris.
PurposeThe purpose of the Streetscape Master Plan is to develop a plan which provides an integrated vision for future streetscape improvements to the Beaumaris Concourse.
This report includes the concepts developed for the Streetscape Master Plan. These concepts have been developed from background research and site analysis in conjunction with feedback from the community during community consultation and meetings with stakeholders and the Community Reference Group.
Project LocationThe site comprises the Beaumaris Concourse as indicated in Figure 1. Recommendations will address this primary location, however some recommendations may be developed that address the broader contextual issues and opportunities.

A VISION FOR THE CONCOURSE
“Enhance the Beaumaris Concourse to strengthen its unique
streetscape character, create opportunities for the local
community to come together and foster its ongoing role
as a vibrant retail and community hub into the future.”*
*Developed in conjunction with the Community Advisory Group

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION, WHAT WE HEARD
“The Reserve” is a natural area of beauty.
The “Village”.
Very pleasant, dog friendly, shopping is a relaxing experience.
Uniquely “Beaumaris”: Treed and Spacious.
It’s where the Community comes together.
There is nothing to dislike.
Close to other community destinations, schools, community centre.
Slow one way traffic, is safe for pedestrians.
Footpath congestion, obstacles on the footpath an issue for motorised
scooters and wheel chairs.
No recycling bins.
Seats are too close to the road, they get hit by car doors.
Currently outdated, bland streetscape.
Uneven brick paving when using a walking stick.
Lacks street vegetation.
Extend the Reserve to connect with the shops.
Provide area for children to play.
Improve the public toilet facilities.
More modern furniture.
Don’t change anything, I love it. No drastic changes. Don’t touch it.
Drinking fountain with cleanable dog bowl.
Path through the park.
What was valued: Issues: Ideas for Improvement:
There needs to be better signage to notify people not to drive into the North
Concourse from Reserve Road.
With a proper landscape design and suitable planting or features the focus can be placed on the reserve as a gathering or
event space for the Concourse.
Driving down Reserve Road the Concourse doesn’t catch your eye. If you didn’t know it
was there you still really wouldn’t.
A place where people can sit and hang out would be good - like a town square,
but not in full view of Reserve Road.
Consultation is a critical component for the development of the Beaumaris Concourse Master Plan, as it provides the Project Team with an understanding of both the community and stakeholders existing views, desires, needs and aspirations for the Master Plan.
The first round of consultation for the project was an information gathering exercise, focusing on the current values, issues and possible improvements for the Concourse.
A sample of the responses received is shown on this page. This is intended to be an indication of the variety of responses received during the consultation so far.
