6.2 GORDON WADE LANE CAR PARK (continued)
This totals 56 spaces, which is some 89 spaces short of the needs of the
surrounding retail/commercial land uses.
In addition to the above, it is considered that the following temporary
measures could be implemented to increase parking availability on the
eastern side of Gordon. However, given the presence of the North Shore
railway line and the distance of some of these spaces to the commercial/
retail areas, not all spaces may be attractive for customer parking.
There would also be temporary impacts to commuters. These measures
include:
• 11 spaces on the western side of Henry Street (opposite the at-grade
commuter car park, opposite railway underpass) be reallocated
from unrestricted parking to 2hr parking;
• 14 spaces in Werona Avenue (north of Khartoum Avenue) be
reallocated from unrestricted/4hr parking to 2hr parking;
• up to 43 spaces in Robert Street reallocated from unrestricted
parking to 2hr parking (as Robert Street has relatively good access
to the Railway concourse across the North Shore railway line);
• 3 spaces on the southern side of Khartoum Avenue (between
Werona Avenue and Khartoum Lane) be reallocated from
unrestricted parking to 2hr parking;
• up to 11 spaces in Dumaresq Street reallocated from unrestricted
parking to 2hr parking; and
• 6 spaces on the southern side of Moree Street reallocated from
unrestricted parking to 2hr parking.
These measures would result in additional 88 short term parking spaces
on the eastern side of the Pacific Highway.
The above also excludes sites which have a small amount of on-site
customer parking (eg BWS and Westpac sites), which would further
assist in addressing the demand. It is also likely that any spare capacity
on the western side of Pacific Highway (eg Moree Street car park and
possibly the Gordon Centre car park) would also be utilised by visitors to
the eastern precincts.
By implementing these measures during construction of the Wade Lane
car park site and redevelopment of part of the sites on the eastern side
of Pacific Highway, it is considered that the interim parking needs of the
eastern precincts of Gordon can be met.
