Permit parking expansion recommended for part of Hillcrest Avenue in Hurstville
Georges River Council’s Local Transport Forum backed extending Resident Parking Permit Scheme Area 6 to Hillcrest Avenue between King Georges Road and Woniora Road.
Residents on part of Hillcrest Avenue in Hurstville could be brought into an existing resident parking permit area after Georges River Council’s Local Transport Forum recommended an expansion of the scheme.
At its 29 April meeting, the forum recommended extending Existing Resident Parking Permit Scheme Area 6 to include Hillcrest Avenue between King Georges Road and Woniora Road. The recommendation was recorded in the public minutes for the Georges River Council forum.
If adopted, the change would affect who can park in that stretch and could give eligible residents access to permit parking protections already in place in Area 6. For other motorists, parking in the section may become more limited depending on the scheme’s conditions.
The Hillcrest Avenue item was one of several traffic and parking matters considered across the council area. The same meeting also recommended parking changes at Baumans Road and Meadowland Road in Peakhurst, bus zone changes in Glenwall Street, Kingsgrove, Trafalgar Street, Peakhurst, and Junction Road, Beverly Hills, temporary event parking controls on Depot Road, Mortdale, and a new accessible parking space in Pitt Street, Mortdale.
The minutes do not record further debate on the Hillcrest Avenue item, listing it under a recommendation from the senior traffic and transport engineer with no comments.
The forum also heard from U-Go Mobility on other bus stop issues, including a request for broader formalisation of unformalised bus stops in Glenwall Street and notice that bus stop zones no longer used around George Street and Forest Road may be removed closer to June.
The Local Transport Forum minutes describe the Hillcrest Avenue change as a recommendation, rather than a final implemented outcome.
