Description

The public domain upgrade at 477 Pitt Street involves a comprehensive transformation of the area surrounding this key commercial and residential block in Sydney's bustling CBD. This project is designed to enhance the urban environment, improving accessibility, aesthetics, and overall functionality for pedestrians, businesses, and residents alike.
