Parramatta CBD Parking Strategy

There are about 5,200 on-and off-street parking spaces (under Council’s management) through the entire Parramatta Local Government Area.

There are four key MLCPs in the Parramatta CBD:

1. Eat Street

2. City Centre

3. Parramatta Station

4. Justice Precinct.

The Riverbank car park closed in February 2021 to make way for the new Parramatta Powerhouse Museum.

The City Centre car park will close on 30 September 2021 to make way for the NSW Government’s Sydney Metro West rail network.

The strategy takes a multi-faceted approach in addressing the Parramatta CBD’s parking issues. It recommends a combination of options to support the provision of parking in the Parramatta CBD, now and in the future.

Parramatta’s population is growing at an exponential rate. While this growth will be transformational and have lasting benefits for the City, it also presents challenges. The Parramatta CBD Car Parking strategy looks to address the City’s parking needs resulting from this significant growth.

The strategy has identified two key car park users:

Short stay/ visitors who park for less than 4 hours and support the visitor economy, local retailers and service businesses

Long stay/ commuters who park more than 4 hours (or all day) who work in the Parramatta CBD.

Council used community and stakeholder feedback to determine if the strategy required additional investigations and refinements. A report of the results of community consultation has been completed and tabled to Council.
