Proposed one-way southbound traffic arrangement and parking changes on Trott Street, North Parramatta.

To improve traffic conditions and safety, City of Parramatta is proposing to implement a one-way southbound traffic arrangement on Trott Street, Parramatta, between Albert Street and Harold Street.

Trott Street is a narrow, single-lane road with parking permitted on one side. The section under consideration for a one-way southbound traffic arrangement is adjacent to Parramatta North Public School. Traffic congestion during peak periods can make two-way travel difficult and potentially unsafe.

To support this one-way southbound traffic arrangement change and ensure vehicles are parked on the correct side of the road, it is also proposed to relocate parking from the west side to the east side of the street.

Public exhibition - Completed

Council was seeking input regarding this proposal and invited submissions from residents, businesses, and relevant authorities from 22 July to 20 August 2025.

Council received 53 submissions, with 23% in support, 8% partially in support, and 62% opposing the proposal. Community feedback highlighted concerns about through traffic using Trott Street in the southbound direction and the lengthy detour routes that local residents would face if the restriction were implemented.

Next steps

In light of the feedback received, Council will soon consult with residents and local businesses on a revised proposal for a one-way (northbound) restriction on Trott Street between Harold Street and Albert Street, North Parramatta.
