The Committee carried the recommendation
unanimously. |
Background
|
On 19
December 2013, the NSW Government adopted the Sydney City Centre Access
Strategy (Access Strategy). The Access Strategy will deliver a fully
integrated transport network in Sydney’s City Centre that puts the customer
first and meets the growing transport task. It will mean more people use
public transport to access the City Centre and it will change the way people
move around within it. The Access Strategy considers all
transport modes and demonstrates how light rail, buses, trains, ferries,
cars, taxis, pedestrians and cyclists will interact in the heart of Sydney.
The Access Strategy also provides a clear direction for how all the different
transport modes will work together in the Sydney CBD to reduce congestion,
provide for future growth and improve the customer experience. As
additional commercial, retail and residential floor space is constructed in
and near central Sydney, and new precincts are developed, there will be
increasing demands on the available kerbside space in the CBD. The consistent
management and allocation of kerbside space will ensure the street network
can accommodate critical business and local needs, while maintaining the
efficient operation of the broader public and private transport networks. |
TfNSW has
investigated this matter and developed a plan to rearrange the overnight
parking conditions on York Street overnight to enable easier access to the lift
and hence into Wynyard Station.
TfNSW have consulted
with Bus operators to get agreement to this overnight change
Longer term,
deliveries to the station will be conducted from the loading dock of Wynyard
Place.
TfNSW has conducted a consultation with consulted with
stakeholders and all residents and businesses on Clarence Street and received 3
responses. One of these was a representative response from the residents of 259
Clarence Street expressing support for the changes the other two supported the
change but made further suggestions on other measures that should be
considered. These will be considered.
All costs associated with the parking change will be
borne by Transport for NSW.
