A comprehensive study of parking needs and habits around Richmond, North Richmond, Windsor and South Windsor is being carried out over the next two months.
This study, which will include on-the-ground surveys of formalised and kerbside parking space use around the centres on weekdays and weekends, was committed to by Council in February 2022 and will provide guidance to Council on the right mix of parking to support these four critical town centres. As the Windsor Liveability Project designs are now confirmed, the study is now taking place at all four locations simultaneously to create an accurate snapshot in time.
Physical surveying of parked cars and parking spaces will be carried out this month.
Complementing the physical surveying will be direct engagement with business owners and residents online and in-person to understand their needs and how current parking arrangements impact them.
Council will hold community drop-in meetings where residents and business owners are invited to come and speak to staff about their thoughts, ideas and concerns about the parking in the four major town centres. These meetings will be held at:
Richmond Community Centre
114 March Street, Richmond
Tuesday 3 September 2024, 6.30pm-8.30pm
To discuss parking around Richmond and North Richmond
Deerubbin Centre, Windsor
John Tebbutt Room
300 George Street, Windsor
Wednesday 4 September 2024, 6.30pm-8.30pm
To discuss parking around Windsor and South Windsor
Residents and business owners can also have their say online until Friday 13 September 2024 at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au/parking
The results from the study will be used to make any necessary adjustments to parking arrangements to help support local businesses and shoppers.
