Proposed Parking Changes in Wentworth Avenue

New standards for on street parking were recently released by Standards Australia in 2020. As a result, Transport for NSW together with Council carried out investigations to review the existing parking arrangements in Wentworth Avenue, Wentworthville as this street has low-speeds, low-traffic volumes and is within easy walking distance of Wentworthville Station.

An opportunity was identified to increase the number of on street parking spaces in Wentworth Avenue by installing angled parking on one side of the road while still retaining the parallel kerbside parking on the other side. These additional spaces will provide more opportunities for commuters to find parking within easy walking distance of Wentworthville Station.

The existing trees and vegetation between the railway corridor fence and the southern kerb line of Wentworth Avenue is to be removed for the installation of a new footpath at the new angled car parking spaces to provide safe pedestrian circulation.

The Parramatta Traffic Committee under Delegated Authority will consider responses to this consultation prior to determining the matter.

Should the proposal be approved, Council will commence construction in the first half of 2022.

The purpose of the proposal is to create additional parking spaces for commuters to use when travelling via train at Wentworthville Station.

As such, this proposal does not involve introduction of time restricted parking spaces.
