Abstract
The scale and pace of private and public construction in Parramatta CBD presents challenges in the management of the transport network. Construction activity generated by these developments will introduce a significant number of both light and heavy vehicles to the local network which will place further stress on on-street and off-street parking capacity in Parramatta CBD. Transport for NSW (TfNSW) observed a substantial number of construction workers rightly using off-street carparks in Parramatta CBD whilst working on nearby building sites. However, the same carparks are earmarked for redevelopment for public projects. For example, Horwood Place carpark will be closed to make way for a Sydney Metro West station and the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences is earmarked for development where Riverbank carpark presently sits. These development projects will continue to attract a large number of workers, yet construction will consume off-street locations where these workers can park. This raises concerns of what the impact of parking could be on limited on-street resources if off-street parking provisions are no longer available. The objective of this research is to assess the potential transport (parking) impact of ongoing high demand from construction workers for all-day parking and limited future off-street parking supply.
