Improved connection to the overpass

As far back as 1993 Oddy’s Lane has been identified for upgrade, to better connect to the overpass.

Opportunity for investment

As part of the Cremorne Urban Design Framework, and in collaboration with the developers of the adjacent former Richmond Power Station site (the Naomi Milgrom Foundation), Oddy’s Lane could be revitalised as green open space, and with a gentle ramp connecting to the overpass.
