Proposed parking changes to CBD

Council is proposing to convert the current signposted one-hour timed parking from 8am to 6pm on Monday to Friday within the Parramatta CBD to 30-minute timed parking. See the map below for locations where the 30-minute parking is proposed.

Council recently surveyed on-street parking within the Parramatta CBD and found that it is difficult for people to find parking in one-hour parking areas due to low vacancy rates. On-street parking within the CBD should be available for short-stay high-turnover parking, with long-stay parking better suited to off-street carparks.

By converting the signposted one-hour parking to 30-minute parking, it is expected that the turnover and availability of on-street parking will increase. It is also anticipated to better support the retail and commercial businesses in the CBD.

Please note that concessions associated with the Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) allow permit holders to park all day for free in an on-street parking space that has a signposted time limit of more than 30 minutes. Holders of a MPS Permit can however park in 30-minute spots for up to 2 hours, allowing them to attend appointments or to visit shops and restaurants.  

Council now invites written submissions from residents, businesses and visitors to the Parramatta CBD on the proposed changes to parking in the CBD.

Submissions close at 5pm on Tuesday 18 October 2022.

The Parramatta Traffic Committee and Council will consider responses to this consultation prior to determining the matter.
