Henry Lane, St Leonards NSW
The City of Willougby is a local government area on the lower north shore of Sydney. It encompasses the suburb of St Leonards, a popular commercial and residential district, 5km north of Sydney CBD.
Project Design Brief
First settled in the late nineteenth century, several parts of St Leonards are linked by small lanes and alleyways. One such area is Henry Lane between Mitchell Street and Martin Street, which had a drainage issue that endangered several residences. Designers were challenged with the limited space available for a new drainage system. Stormwater needed to be collected effectively from the road surface and discharged directly into the main stormwater lines.
