As Newcastle continues to change, traffic patterns across the city have shifted. SECA undertook extensive data collection and traffic review for Newcastle City Council, assessing options to alter traffic controls in Cooks Hill. The study identified measures to improve accessibility and parking provision for both the residential community and the entertainment precinct without increasing rat-running through the local street network.
