The North Melbourne community has told us they would like to see more greening and open space around Errol Street.

From 25 November 2024 to 27 January 2025 we asked for feedback on the proposal to create new open space by extending the much-loved and well-used Errol Street central median, just north of Queensberry Street.

Direction was endorsed at Future Melbourne Committee on 3 June 2025 to proceed to concept design for the full width expansion of Errol Street median:

  • North and south bound lanes of Errol Street will be closed.
  • 1120 square metres of green space.
  • 18 additional trees.
  • Reduction of eight car parking spaces (this includes four car spaces that are occupied by street dining parklets).

A draft concept plan alongside a formal road discontinuance process will be presented to the community.
