Where to park while Whistler Street Carpark undergoes major upgrade

Major upgrades to Whistler Street Carpark will commence in February and motorists visiting Manly CBD are encouraged to choose alternate Council carparks nearby.

There will be an estimated 25 percent loss in parking spaces to the 48-year-old structure while the staged remediation work takes place including an upgrade to a bike-cage, major concrete remediation works to the carpark slab edges, the installation of balustrades and an upgrade of the perimeter edge crash barriers.

Whistler Street Carpark will remain operational throughout the process, though there will be impacts on parking and vehicular movements.

During the work, Council recommends that residents, visitors and shoppers use our carparks in Central Avenue and Wentworth Street.

Alternatively, we recommend using public transport - including Council’s free Hop Skip and Jump Bus services to Manly via Fairy Bower, Kenneth Road and Manly Aquatic Centre - all of which interchange at Balgowlah Shopping Centre next to the Stockland Mall.

And there are plenty of bicycle racks in Manly CBD, too!

Motorists are urged to check Council’s website which provides real-time parking-space availability for all Council-operated off-street, under-cover carparks.

Later this year, the Manly National and Pacific Waves Carparks in Central Avenue will also undergoing lighting upgrades and structural works so there may be some disruptions while that work is underway as well.

All the works on Council’s carparks have been timed to avoid the peak summer season.

Works hours during the remediation and upgrade will be 7am – 5pm, Monday to Friday. Saturday works may be approved if needed by Council.

The program of works is scheduled to be completed by the end of November 2019.
