Stage One Consultation
The Newington community has told us of their frustrations around on-street parking.
In March 2019, City of Parramatta asked for your feedback on two proposals that aim to discourage motorists from parking in Newington while attending events at Sydney Olympic Park.
By installing either a Resident and Visitor Parking Scheme (RVPS) or a Special Event Parking Scheme (SEPS) in the area identified on the map (see Frequently asked questions below), Council intends to increase on-street parking for residents and their visitors.
Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback. A majority of you supported the introduction of timed parking restrictions to limit parking associated with events at Sydney Olympic Park, and supported the introduction of annual parking permits for residents to provide exemption to parking restrictions.
For those who supported annual parking permits for residents, a majority preferred the Resident and Visitor Parking Scheme (RVPS). For more information about the proposed parking schemes, please refer to the 'Frequently asked questions' section below.
Based on your feedback, the area proposed for where the parking scheme would apply was adjusted to only include the area bounded by Newington Public School, Newington Boulevard, Avenue of Oceania and Hill Road, and south of Newington Public School.
Further community consulation will be undertaken with residents in the coming months. Click on the image below to see more information on what we heard during stage one engagement.
