5 LONG TERM PARKING STRATEGIES
(continued)
5.2 Lindfield
Western Precincts
Western precincts are characterised by the Balfour Centre and strip
shops along Pacific Highway. Short term parking needs are catered for
on-street and in Council’s Woodford Lane car park. The Woodford Lane
car park also caters for a small amount long stay parking typically used
by commuters, otherwise the vast majority of commuter parking in
Lindfield occurs on-street.
Under a future minimum redevelopment scenario, it is estimated that
there will be approximately 160 surplus short term parking spaces in
the western side of Lindfield. Redevelopment of 100% of the strip shops
would increase the surplus to approximately 200 spaces. Given that the
Woodford Lane car park currently contains 72 short stay parking spaces,
there is the flexibility to reduce this amount in the future if strip shops
along Pacific Highway redevelop.
Long stay retail/business employee parking would also effectively be
catered for on site, with the analysis indicating a modest surplus of 6
spaces during the Thursday peak period. This would be an improvement
over the existing situation, and the reduction in employee parking onstreet
would bring about additional parking opportunities for commuters.
Included in the future parking availability are the following:
• additional on-site retail/business parking in redeveloped strip shop
sites on the western side of Pacific Highway;
• consolidation of residential sites in Bent Street and the subsequent
reduction in the number of driveway crossings would result in minor
additional on-street parking, the majority of which is likely to be
unrestricted;
• 6 additional 1hr on-street spaces on the northern side of Balfour
Street, as a result of relocation of Balfour Lane;
• transfer Woodford Lane car park underground, including parking
for community uses, allocate accessible parking and utilise
undersized spaces for motorcycles/motor scooters. Retain existing
combination of 2hr time limit and unrestricted spaces;
• 13 new 1hr indented parallel parking spaces on western side of
Woodford Lane;
• 28 new 2hr parking spaces on new road between Beaconsfield
Parade and Bent Street;
• 5 new 1hr parking spaces on new road between Bent Street and
Balfour Street; and
• consider formalised loading zone at the eastern end of either
Beaconsfield Parade or Bent Street (temporary, subject to
redevelopment of adjacent strip shops).
