On 22 June Council meeting it was decided to defer Charing Cross Streetscape Upgrade to the July Council meeting where Council officers have been asked to present an updated report that reconsiders options to accommodate the following additional matters:

1. The streetscape upgrade is driven first and foremost by heritage principles.
2. Process and timing for the development of a Built Form Master Plan for Charing Cross (including Awning Strategy).
3. Retention of existing footpath width.
4. Moving the central raised pedestrian crossing further down Bronte Road in the vicinity of the House of Handsome.
5. Choice of tree species, including low trees that do not obscure first level heritage façades.
6. Consideration of light poles that, while having the functionally of a multipole, are designed in keeping with the heritage character and do not incorporate a banner arm.
7. Additional changes to the Carrington/Bronte/Victoria and Bronte/Albion intersections to further improve safety.
8. Consideration of hanging baskets and seating appropriate to the heritage values of the area.
