Upgrade to Corridor of Oaks, Faulconbridge
The Corridor of Oaks and Jackson Park in Faulconbridge will receive a significant upgrade, thanks to a $2 million funding boost from the NSW Government’s NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program.
Work on the accessibility, landscaping and amenity upgrades to the Corridor of Oaks and Jackson Park, Faulconbridge, are now well underway and are expected to be completed in July 2023 (weather permitting).
The upgrades include:
An accessible boardwalk between the Corridor of Oaks ‘Prime Minister Trees’, with accessible paths linking the oaks and the toilet
Replacement accessible toilet
Formalised accessible car parking
A road crossing point with speed humps either side
Relocation of the swing set to accommodate the road crossing, and
Removal of trees impacting on the oaks, and extensive plantings.
Work will primarily be carried out on weekdays with the occasional half-day on weekends.
The Corridor of Oaks is a local heritage-listed item and is significant as a commemoration of the successive Prime Ministers of Australia since Federation. The land is also associated with Sir Henry Parkes and the prominent role he played in bringing about the federation of the Australian colonies.

This survey is about the Draft Masterplan for the Corridor of Oaks and Jackson Park, and the draft concept designs for the upgrade works being provided under the NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program.
A Masterplan is a detailed plan that guides future design and development for public spaces. It outlines developments which improve function and access; recognises, respects and enhances the existing character; and facilitate social activity and amenity for both residents and visitors. Details and exact layout are worked out once funding is identified. Masterplans must be endorsed by Council.
The NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program is a NSW Government initiative that supports councils to deliver more, and better public spaces across the state.
