Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

Place Management NSW (PMNSW) is requesting endorsement for reallocation of seven 15min parking spaces in Darling Drive, Darling Harbour to support Urbanest Student Accommodation building operations and public visitation. Following the completion of the second Urbanest building, there is an increased need for essential delivery vehicles access to service the buildings, which is currently 15 min parking and often occupied by private cars/uber vehicles, tour buses, construction vehicles parking and often extending their stay beyond 15min. A review of the area has identified a need for a loading zone for waste services, delivery vehicles to support key businesses operations and allow visitation for the public to Steam Mill Lane eateries, doctors, chemist and retail.

PMNSW believes that the proposed change will aid Urbanest building operations and increase parking options for stakeholders and businesses in the area therefore improving customer experience in line with our values.
