Asquith Street - Mt Claremont Shopping Precinct - parking and amenity upgrades

Asquith Street car park and landscaping has been completed. However, the car park lighting is due to be installed in the coming months.

The Asquith Street and carpark in front of the Cellarbrations store is now open.

Final works to the carpark and park overthe next four weeks will include permanent line marking on the carpark, lighting, pram ramp indicators and landscaping.

Thank you for your patience during the completion of the project.

The development of the car park and the park is progressing really well, although the rain has slowed works down a little. The change in the car park layout in front of the Cellarbrations Store is also progressing and will be completed soon. These projects are the first of a number of projects in this area. We look forward to finishing the work and having the park ready for your enjoyment in the coming weeks.

The City has appointed Contractors, Densford Civil to undertake the car park works from Tuesday, 4 June 2019, during weekdays between 7am-5pm for a period of six weeks. The works include:

• Removal of existing car bays off Olearia Lane
• Removal of some existing trees
• Installation of new car parking bays at the west end of Asquith Park
• Landscaping including a linking path
• The realignment of parking bays outside Cellarbrations Liquor Store.

The development application to the Council for approval of converting part of Asquith Park into a car park was approved by the Council at its meeting on 26 February 2019. Please visit the City's website (Agendas, Minutes and Reports) to view the minutes and the report (Item 13.8). The City will now program the works to commence.

The parking improvements will also include a new design for the balance of Asquith Park. The new park will extend to the Olearia Lane where the current car parking bays will be removed as part of these works. The plans include a new footpath and area for people to meet, along with new plants, flower beds and grassed areas. The existing Peppermint tree will remain to provide valuable shade in the park.

To view the proposed plans, please visit the document library on this page.

The City is progressing with its first project - Asquith Park redevelopment which includes the conversion of part of the park to a 18 bay car park plus turn around with the remainder and the existing car park becoming a new park.

As part of this process a development application has been lodged with the City's Planing Department which is now advertised. To view this development application, please visit the City's website.

A copy of the detailed designs can also be found in the document library on this page.

The City has now finalised the proposed landscape design for the new park which will include the existing parking at the park, off Olearia Lane. Please visit the document library to view the design.

The City looks forward to completing this important project.
