From early brick quarry grit and grime to a new green space, there’s been a transformation for the better at Frenchs Forest in Sydney’s north.

The transformation involves the unveiling of Brickpit Reserve, a lush 1.3-hectare natural sanctuary, coupled with blueprints for a new town hub and housing projects.

This reserve, honoring William Hews, who launched a brick-making enterprise in the region many years ago, is now designated as a space for leisure and enjoyment.

“This used to be a quarry where clay was taken and made into bricks back in the 1800s,” Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said.

In addition to the reserve, a new Frenchs Forest town centre is planned for next to Northern Beaches Hospital, which will include 1000 new homes. 

Surrounding areas have also been rezoned to accommodate low to medium-density housing, with one 124-unit block recently approved. 

“This area is going to expand significantly… we’re going to see the demographic shift a lot,” Wakehurst MP Michael Regan said.

“We’ve got nurses and teachers… so affordable housing needs to be part of the mix,” he added

The existing main shopping centre is also slated for a $34 million upgrade, including a new intersection. 

“We’re replacing the old parking lot, introducing a stunning al fresco dining area, and incorporating numerous additional parking spots,” stated Anthony El-Hazouri from Revelop.
