Burwood Local Transport Forum - 27 Feb 2026 9:00 AM

Key decisions

• Beaumaris Street school-zone parking changes
  The General Manager under delegation approved converting 64 metres of unrestricted parking along the Enfield Public School frontage on Beaumaris Street to '1/4P 8am-9:30am, 2:30pm-4pm School Days Only'.
  Residents, parents, and drivers near Enfield Public School will face time-limited parking during school pick-up and drop-off periods.
• Possible extra parking restrictions near speed hump
  The meeting record recommends Council consider parking restrictions near the speed hump fronting 35 Beaumaris Street to improve vehicle movements and safety, following the new pick-up and drop-off zone.
  People parking or driving near 35 Beaumaris Street may see further restrictions if Council acts on the recommendation.
• Burwood Road car share space relocation
  The General Manager under delegation approved installation of a dedicated car share space on the east side of Burwood Road, Burwood Heights, south of Bligh Street, relocating a previously approved space after community feedback.
  This changes kerbside parking use on Burwood Road and provides a designated car share bay in Burwood Heights.
• Temporary closure of Ford Lane from Railway Parade
  The General Manager under delegation approved closure of Ford Lane from Railway Parade from Friday 20 February 2026 at 12:00pm to Saturday 21 February 2026 at 10:00pm.
  Residents and motorists using Ford Lane or Railway Parade were affected by a temporary access change during the closure period.
• Shaftesbury Road 'Keep Clear' linemarking
  The General Manager under delegation approved installation of 'Keep Clear' line marking on southbound Shaftesbury Road at Selborne Street.
  Drivers at the Shaftesbury Road and Selborne Street intersection may experience improved traffic flow and changed stopping behaviour.

Important topics

• Post-implementation review for Beaumaris Street changes
  A post-implementation parking review was recommended to assess the effectiveness of the proposed school-zone parking changes.
  Residents may have an opportunity to see whether the new restrictions are adjusted after implementation based on actual impacts.
• Parking occupancy and safety concerns on Beaumaris Street
  The meeting notes say parking occupancy along Beaumaris Street is moderate, restrictions may affect parking availability, and vehicles often park beside the speed hump near 35 Beaumaris Street.
  This highlights likely trade-offs between parking supply and safer school-area traffic movements.
• Monitoring of Shaftesbury Road intersection
  TfNSW recommended monitoring the intersection after the 'Keep Clear' marking is installed, especially right-turn movements from Selborne Street.
  Further traffic adjustments could follow if safety or operational issues remain at the intersection.

Resident impacts

• School-day parking limits will apply outside Enfield Public School on Beaumaris Street.
• Some unrestricted kerbside parking is being converted to regulated short-stay parking.
• A dedicated car share bay will replace general parking space on part of Burwood Road in Burwood Heights.
• Temporary road access changes affected Ford Lane at Railway Parade during the approved closure period.
• New 'Keep Clear' markings at Shaftesbury Road and Selborne Street may change how motorists queue and stop at the intersection.
