Turramurra is a suburb on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales and is located 20 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD, in the local government area of Ku-ring-gai Council. Turramurra is a large suburb extending from Lane Cove National Park in the south to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in the north.

As a leafy, attractive and quiet suburb, it is particularly appealing to newly married couples who want to start families and this proliferation of young families has seen the establishment of local primary and high schools. With few new apartment blocks approved to be built in the area and only a small village centre, the suburb has retained much of its heritage charm. Yet more recently, the council have revealed plans to redevelop the area surrounding the railway station to incorporate a commercial centre and include higher density new apartment housing developments.  These new apartments in Turramurra are in high demand from people that wish to live in the highly desirable suburb but don’t wish to live in the large homes which currently dominate the Turramurra landscape.

New apartments in Turramurra have recently been sought after by young professional couples that are looking to live in more suburban areas than inner city Sydney while still providing easy transport routes across Sydney. Turramurra ticks these boxes with a train station on the Northern line as well as the Pacific Highway running through the suburb connecting residents with the F3 Freeway along with Chatswood and North Sydney. There is also a private bus service run by Shorelink.

With demand for new apartments in Turramurra, there has been talk of redeveloping the area around the Train Station into a new Town Centre or Civic Place. The key Site will be Ray street.

In the future this Key Site will become a community focal point, centred on a large new town square. A number of community facilities are to be located in this area within new premises. A new Turramurra library will also be provided fronting the proposed public space. This area will also become a major shopping destination with a new larger supermarket and associated specialty shops. To service these uses a new road bridge will be constructed over the rail line at the end of Ray Street connecting with Rohini Street. The bridge will provide a second access point for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Forbes Lane will be widened (through development setbacks) to create a new two-way street with on-street parking, a taxi stand and a kiss-and-ride area for the train station.

Shop-top housing will be provided on the retail podium providing further support for the retail and community uses. Council’s parking will be relocated to new basement parking upon redevelopment.
