6.2 GORDON WADE LANE CAR PARK

Gordon Wade Lane Car Park.
Strategy to cater for parking needs during redevelopment of the
Wade Lane car park (site G9)
The Wade Lane car park contains approximately 374 spaces, and it
generally services the parking needs of the retail and commercial areas
on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway. The typical peak weekday
occupancy rate of the car park is 93%. These sites currently have limited
on-site parking, and those that do have spaces tend to use them for
employee (long stay) parking. Visitors to Gordon Library and even the
Council Chambers are also likely to be users of the car park.
Complete redevelopment of the Wade Lane car park in isolation
Impact to parking
Redevelopment of the Wade Lane car park site would result in a loss of
374 short term car parking spaces. The limited on-site parking of the
surrounding strip shops and library would not be able to cater for the
demand.
The demand generated by the retail commercial land uses on the eastern
side of Pacific Highway is estimated to be in the order of 590 spaces,
which includes approximately 390 short term spaces, for shoppers/
visitors.
It is unlikely that the number of spaces currently in the Wade Lane car
park could be temporarily allocated elsewhere on the eastern side of
Gordon. There would also be substantial impacts to commuter parking
if this was to be undertaken. There are also connectivity issues related
