Frequently Asked Questions

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 Short Street and Water Street, Wentworthville as these streets have low-speeds, low-traffic volumes and are within easy walking distance of Wentworthville Station.

An opportunity was identified to increase the number of on street parking spaces in Short Street and Water Street 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 works to install the angle parking in Short Street and Water Street will be limited to the installation of signs and line-marking only.

There will be no changes to the existing kerb alignment in these streets. As such, no trees will need to be removed as part of this proposal.
