5 LONG TERM PARKING STRATEGIES

5.5 Turramurra
Ray Street Precinct
Land uses in the Ray Street precinct include strip shops on Pacific
Highway and William Street, and the Coles Supermarket on Ray Street.
Turramurra Library is located adjacent to Coles. A substantial atgrade
car park at the rear of Coles and the strip shops (partly owned
by Coles and partly by Council) caters for the short stay parking needs
of shoppers, while parking adjacent to the railway line is unrestricted
and is utilised by commuters. Some of the spaces in the car park are
signposted with 4hr limits, to enable short commuter trips to CBDs such
as Chatswood, North Sydney and the City.
Under a minimum redevelopment scenario, a surplus of approximately
210 short stay spaces is anticipated in the precinct, while the majority of
long stay (employee) parking would be accommodated. In a maximum
redevelopment scenario, similar levels of spare short stay parking
spaces as the minimum scenario would be available. Theoretically,
the option therefore exists to reduce the number of spaces Council
eventually replaces (underground) in the Ray Street car park. Parking
strategies in this precinct would be mainly in the following locations:
• additional on-site retail/business parking in redeveloped strip shop
sites on northern side of Pacific Highway, between Ray Street and
William Street;
• additional on-site retail/community parking in Ray Street precinct,
associated with redevelopment of Coles/Ray Street car park site;
• transfer Ray Street car park underground, allocate accessible
parking, 40 commuter parking spaces and utilise undersized spaces
for motorcycles/motor scooters;
• new Taxi Zone on northern side of Forbes Lane, adjacent to station
entrance and new town square; and
• widen Forbes Lane to permit kerbside parking on both sides,
resulting in approximately 37 spaces. Allocate 30 spaces as 1/2hr
parking. 3 spaces to be designated as full-time commuter pick-up
and drop-off zone on the northern side of Forbes Lane, adjacent to
new town square. Reinforce commuter space with supplementary
“Pick Up and Drop Off Only” plates. Include 2 accessible parking
spaces and 2 Taxi Zone spaces in the vicinity of railway station
entrance.
Kissing Point Road Precinct
Turramurra Plaza is currently the main land use in this precinct,
supported by a car park at the rear of the site, which is mostly owned by
Council. The majority of spaces in this car park are signposted with 2hr
limits, for shopper convenience, with a small number of spaces reserved
for the Turramurra Plaza.
Both the minimum and maximum redevelopment scenarios show modest
surpluses in short stay parking, while being able to cater for the majority
of the long stay (employee) parking needs on site.
