Project updates
Project details
In February this year we asked about your parking experiences in the Balmain East area. At the same time, we conducted parking surveys to determine occupancy levels. We used this information to develop the draft Parking Strategy which includes short and long term actions to help manage parking issues.
What's in the strategy?
The table below outlines short and long term actions Council will implement to manage parking in this area.
