To accommodate the roundabout and the pedestrian refuge islands, approximately two (2) to four (4) on-street parking spaces will be removed on each leg of the roundabout, resulting in a total loss of 13 to 14 parking spaces.
If there are no substantial objections to the proposal and it receives approvals from all relevant bodies, such as the Local Traffic Forum and Council, the construction work for this roundabout is expected to take place in mid-late 2026. You can FOLLOW this page for updates.
In addition to the standard traffic flow changes associated with the installation of a roundabout, there will be a minor adjustment affecting the service lane parallel to Thomas Street. Vehicles will no longer be able to enter the service lane via Morton Street. A ‘No Entry’ sign will be installed at this location to inform road users of the change.
The intersection of Thomas Street and Morton Street, Parramatta, has been identified as a high-priority location for traffic management improvements to enhance safety, reduce congestion, and minimise conflicting vehicle movements.
The current design is no longer adequate for the area's growing traffic demands, leading to delays on Morton Street and increasing the risk of collisions for vehicles exiting onto Thomas Street.
In response to the significant number of community reports and requests, Council has prioritised this intersection for redesign.
