5 LONG TERM PARKING STRATEGIES
(continued)
5.1 Gordon (continued)
Eastern Precincts
Short stay parking demand on the eastern side of Pacific Highway comes
primarily from the strip shops adjacent to Pacific Highway. The short
stay parking needs are currently serviced by the Wade Lane car park.
Long stay parking demand comes about as a result of commuters and
Ravenswood School, as well as retail/commercial employee parking
(which is not effectively catered for on-site).
The minimum development scenario would result in spare capacity of
approximately 390 short stay parking spaces. This is somewhat more
than the existing capacity of the Wade Lane car park. Although this
indicates the Wade Lane car park could be surplus to requirements,
under a minimum development scenario there would still be strip
shops that would not redevelop and would therefore still rely on short
stay parking in Wade Lane. As a result, consideration could be given
to removal of a level of parking in Wade Lane if only the sites likely to
redevelop are actually redeveloped. If 100% of the strip shops were
redeveloped, then it is conceivable that Wade Lane car park could be
redeveloped to provide only 1 level of short stay parking (approx 120
spaces), since the majority of short stay parking needs would be catered
on-site.
Long stay parking needs would be more adequately catered for under a
minimum redevelopment scenario, with the analysis indicating a surplus
of 6 long stay spaces. This would be further improved to 78 spaces if
100% of the strip shops were redeveloped.

Ku-ring-gai Town Centres Parking Management Plan 2010
The above analysis includes parking changes resulting from new roads
and circulation patterns, which are detailed below:
• additional on-site retail/business parking under redeveloped strip
shops along Pacific Highway and St Johns Avenue;
• additional on-site retail/business parking under redeveloped
Council car park site in Wade Lane;
• transfer Wade Lane car park underground, allocate accessible
parking and 1 utilise undersize spaces for motorcycles/motor
scooters. Retain 2hr time restriction;
• new full-time commuter pick up and drop off zone at southern end
of Wade Lane. Existing part time commuter pick up and drop off
zone on both sides of Werona Avenue to remain. Reinforce with
supplementary “Pick Up and Drop Off Only” plates;
• bicycle parking on footpath area outside main entrances to Gordon
Centre and Gordon Shopping Village, as well as redeveloped Council
Chambers site and St Johns Avenue strip shop precinct. Install
bicycle parking at eastern end of St Johns Avenue in proximity to
railway station entrance or alternatively install bicycle lockers on
the western side of Werona Avenue in the vicinity of the railway
station entrance;
• investigate possible part-time loading zone on west side of Wade
Lane near Park Avenue, from 7am-10am (temporary, subject to
redevelopment of nearby strip shops);
