Public Exhibition has now closed.
City of Parramatta sought community feedback on a proposal to install angle parking on the western side of Morton Street, between Broughton Street and Gibson Road, Parramatta. Thank you to everyone who participated during the public exhibition period.
About the project
The proposal aims to increase the number of available parking spaces on the street while also improving road safety. By changing the parking arrangement from parallel parking to angle parking, the effective width of the road would be reduced. This is expected to help calm traffic and reduce vehicle speeds along this section of Morton Street.
Proposed changes
The proposal includes:
- Installing angle parking spaces on the western side of Morton Street between Broughton Street and Gibson Road
- Increasing the number of available on-street parking spaces
- Creating a traffic calming effect by narrowing the usable roadway width
- Supporting safer vehicle movements and lower traffic speeds along the street
Why are we proposing this change?
Council has identified opportunities to improve parking availability in the area while also enhancing road safety outcomes.
The proposed angle parking arrangement is expected to:
- Provide additional parking spaces for residents and visitors
- Make more efficient use of the available road space
- Help reduce vehicle speeds through traffic calming measures
- Improve the overall function of the street environment
Council has now closed the consultation period and will review all submissions received. Feedback will be considered alongside technical, operational and safety requirements before a final recommendation is made. The outcomes of the engagement and the next steps for the project will be published on this page once the review has been completed. If there are no substantial objections to the proposal and it receives approval from Council and the Parramatta Traffic Forum, construction works for this project is expected to take place in early 2027.
