Changes to CBD car parks are being introduced as part of Parramatta City Council’s vision for a vibrant business hub with more commercial and residential development to boost job creation and economic growth. 

 

The three single-level public car parks making way for new development are: 

 

·         The temporary 81-space car park at Smith St, which closed in November to make way for the start of work on UWS’s new campus on Parramatta Square.

 

·         The 200-space car park at 189 Macquarie St, which closed in early December to allow for a new 26-storey commercial and residential development featuring a new 700-space car park to open in 2017. 

 

·         The 75-space Lennox Bridge car park, which will close in early 2015 to allow for construction of the new Riverside Tower development including a Council-owned Discovery Centre and exhibition space.        

 

Other CBD car parks have substantial spare capacity to accommodate motorists who park at these three affected sites.
