Light rail parking recovery

The State Government is currently constructing light rail in Randwick City. While light rail will bring many long-term benefits, it will also result in the removal of an estimated 700-750 onstreet parking spaces. These are parking spaces used by local residents and shoppers.

To help reduce the parking loss, Randwick City Council is implementing a light rail support plan which is about creating more parking and also changing existing parking time limits to better assist residents and businesses.

Parking time limit changes

Construction on the light rail project is proceeding along Anzac Parade. This work will result in the permanent loss of Anzac Parade parking from Kensington to Kingsford.

To help manage parking demand fairly to meet the needs of businesses and residents, Randwick City Council is implementing changes in the following streets:

• Sturt Street - parking time limit changes
• Rainbow Street - parking time limit changes
• Wallace Street - parking time limit changes
• Jacques Street - parking time limit changes
• Bradley St - parking time limit changes
• Blenheim St - parking time limit changes
• Eurimbla Ave - parking time limit changes
• Botany St (between High St and Oval Lane) - parking time limit changes
• Botany St (between Arthur St and High St) - parking time limit changes
• Clara St - parking time limit changes
• Coogee Bay Rd (between Belmore Rd and Judge St) - parking time limit changes
• Mears Ave - parking time limit changes
• Soudan St - parking time limit changes
• Kingsford Time Limit Parking Changes - map (5.01 MB) (pdf)
• Abbotford St, Doncaster Ave, Carlton St - Parking time limit changes (747 KB) (pdf)
• Ascot St, Bowral St, Doncaster Ave - Parking Time Limit Changes (777 KB) (pdf)
• Boronia St (Anzac Pde to Salisbury Rd) - Parking Time Limit Changes (742 KB) (pdf)
• Boronia St (Balfour Ln to Duke St) Parking Time Limit Changes (752 KB) (pdf)
• Boronia St (Salisbury Rd to Balfour Rd) - Parking Time Limit Changes (775 KB) (pdf)

Parking recovery plan

Council is increasing parking near the light rail by changing parking from parallel to angle parking. This will increase parking supply.

We have identified 21 streets where it's possible to create more than 400 new onstreet parking spaces. $10.5M has been allocated to the Parking Recovery Plan which is part of Council's broader Light Rail Support Plan.

We are planning to implement the parking changes at the same times as the light rail construction to minimise the parking loss.

We are progressively writing to nearby residents and property owners to inform you of the proposed changes and to invite you to view the plans.

NOTE: The following drawings illustrate the angled parking layout design only. The parking restrictions shown on these drawings are indicative only, and may have been revised as part of Randwick City Council’s “Parking time limit changes” implementation. Please see the parking time limit changes drawings (above) for the proposed parking restrictions in your street.
