Moore Park Light Rail Station - Request for Pick up and Drop off Area

An email has been received by a resident advising that since the Moore Park Light Rail Station has been put in and the buses to the Moore Park area removed, children need to catch the light rail to school from Moore Park to Randwick.  I and many other parents pick up their kids from the roundabout on Driver's avenue in line with the Light Rail Station.

On event days the whole street becomes a Special Event Clearway and there is nowhere to legally pickup anyone from the Light Rail Station for a few kilometres. As you can't stop on Drivers Ave, Anzac Parade, Lang Road, and Moore Park Road.  Most of the time everyone just stops anyway as they have no choice.

I have noticed that all the No Parking signs have been removed and replaced with No Stopping signs.

Is the only way to legally pickup or drop off anyone at the Light Rail Station to pay for parking? 

Transport advised that they will not support a Pick up and Drop off Area in Anzac Parade. Drivers Avenue is controlled by the Centennial and Moore Park Trust (CMPT), the resident will be encouraged to contact the CMPT to arrange for Pick up and Drop off Area during event days. These arrangements should be included in the Traffic Management Plan for events in this location.
