Overview

Council had been receiving feedback from the community regarding parking and traffic challenges around Timbrell park, especially during sporting events.

To investigate this further, the City of Canada Bay engaged an independent consultant to undertake a Traffic, Parking and Pedestrian study. Site audits across the precinct were taken to observe travel behaviours, and data was collected on traffic volume, parking and pedestrian activity during weekdays and on the weekends. Data review of peak parking occupancies, duration, traffic, and pedestrian flow have identified challenges and opportunities listed in the study's recommendations.

The recommendations include:

• New pedestrian crossings to increase pedestrian safety and amenity
• Speed humps to manage vehicular speeds and increase safety for all road users
• Angled parking spaces along Henley Marine Drive to increase parking capacity for the community

We asked for community feedback on these recommendations from 29 September - 12 November 2023. Take a look at the consultation report to see a summary of what we heard.

From 29 September - 12 November 2023 we asked for community feedback on the recommendations from the Timbrell Park Traffic, Parking and Pedestrian Study. Information about the consultation period is below.
