6.4 LINDFIELD KOCHIA LANE CAR PARK
(continued)
The additional 61 spaces above and the 133 existing spaces would
address the demand for 196 short term spaces. However, there would
be impacts to commuters and longer term parking needs for the area,
therefore consideration will also be give to coordinating redevelopment
of the car park site with other retail sites on the eastern side of Pacific
Highway.

Coordinated redevelopment of the Tryon Road/Kochia Lane car park
Impact to parking
In order to minimise the impact on parking in the area, the
redevelopment of the Tryon Road/Kochia Lane car park could be
coordinated with the redevelopment of a nearby retail site. Within the
area around the car park, the redevelopment of the Minister’s site (23-43
Lindfield Avenue, 2 Kochia Lane and Havilah Lane car park) offers the
best opportunity to coordinate redevelopment. It is also the site in close
proximity to the car park most likely to redevelop.
Strategy
The redevelopment of the Minister’s site would temporarily remove
demand for 92 short term parking spaces or almost 50% of the existing
short term parking demand for the eastern side of Pacific Highway.
A total of approximately 104 spaces would be required to service the
remaining retail/commercial short term parking need.
During redevelopment of the car park and the Minister’s site, it is
estimated that the following peak period short term parking spaces
would be available:
• 53 spaces in Lindfield Avenue;
• 41 spaces in Tryon Road; and
• 14 spaces in Milray Street.
This totals 108 spaces, which would effectively meet the short term
parking needs of the remaining retail/commercial uses, and would not
require reallocation of existing unrestricted spaces to short term parking
spaces. However, the flexibility would exist to consider temporarily
reallocating unrestricted spaces in Tryon Road and the southern end
of Milray Street to short term parking, should the need arise. However,
given the current peak occupancy rate of the existing car park (69%),
consideration could be given to reducing the amount of unrestricted
parking that is proposed to be reallocated.
Therefore, the impact of the redevelopment of the Tryon Road/Kochia
Lane car park would be significantly reduced if coordinated with the
redevelopment of the Minister’s site.
