Background

As part of the new arrangements for the CBD and South East Light Rail (CSELR) project, Transport for NSW is proposing 19 new angle parking spaces on operational land accessed through Nobbs Lane, Surry Hills between Olivia Lane and Parkham Place. The parking spaces would facilitate the operations at the nearby Langton Centre.
