5 LONG TERM PARKING STRATEGIES
(continued)
5.5 Turramurra (continued)
Below are the parking strategies proposed for this precinct:
• additional on-site retail/business parking in redeveloped strip shop
sites on southern side of Pacific Highway, between Kissing Point
Road and Duff Street, incorporating Council’s car park;
• revised parking layout on new Stonex Street (connecting Kissing
Point Road with Duff Street), resulting in approximately 28 on-street
spaces. Introduce 1hr time limit;
• bus Zone on eastern side of Kissing Point Road (north of Boyd
Street) to remain as existing; and
• formalise part time No Parking zone on the northern side of Boyd
Street as commuter pick-up and drop-off zone, and reinforce with
supplementary “Pick Up and Drop Off Only” plates.
Rohini Street/Turramurra Avenue Precinct
The dominant land use in this precinct is strip shop retail and business
uses. The Turramurra Avenue/Gilroy Lane car park supports the strip
shops by providing short stay parking. The bus interchange and railway
station entrance is located in this precinct, and there is significant
demand for commuter (long stay) parking as well as commuter drop off
and pick up space.
Analysis of a minimum and maximum redevelopment scenario show
substantial surpluses in short stay parking, while being able to cater
for the majority of the long stay (employee) parking needs on site. The
option would exist, therefore, for Council to reconsider the number of
spaces in the Turramurra Avenue/Gilroy Lane car park that need to be
relocated underground. Indicatively, the car park could be reduced by up
to 60 spaces under the minimum development scenario, and by up to 75
spaces under a maximum development scenario.
Additional 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 Rohini Street and
Turramurra Avenue;
• additional on-site retail/business parking in redeveloped strip shop
sites on Rohini Street;
• transfer Gilroy Lane car park underground, allocate accessible
parking at surface and utilise undersized spaces for motorcycles/
motor scooters;
• due to new traffic signals at the intersection of Pacific Highway
and Turramurra Avenue, the 5 existing 1hr spaces on both sides
of Turramurra Avenue (between Pacific Highway and Gilroy Lane)
would have to be removed. However, due to the removal of the
traffic signals at the intersection of Pacific Highway with Rohini
Street, these spaces could be recovered in Rohini Street via the
reduction of the extent of No Stopping restrictions near Pacific
Highway;
