Asquith Street - Mt Claremont Shopping Precinct - parking and amenity upgrades
Consultation has concluded
Do you visit the Mt Claremont shopping centre or the neighbourhood, or live in or near Asquith Street? If so, this project will be of an interest to you.
The City has developed a range of proposals to address the parking needs and amenity of the Mt Claremont shopping precinct and Asquith Park in response to numerous requests and a petition from residents to address the parking issues in this area.
Funds have been set aside in the 2018-19 capital works program to undertake works to improve the parking and amenity. Prior to this work proceeding, the City is inviting your thoughts on a range of options which have been developed.
A number of improvements have been developed for the following areas within the precinct and we now seek your preferences.
- Area 1: Asquith Park (including current park)
- Area 2: Parking area in front of Cellarbrations Liquor Barn
- Area 3: Asquith Street (Strickland to Adderley Street)
- Area 4: 25 Strickland Street
- Area 5: Olearia Lane (rear of 25 Strickland Street)
- Area 6: Road Reservation (Asquith Street from Mayfair Street to the Golf Club rear entrance)

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.

Green spaces and parking bays
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
A number of people are concerned about the loss of green space if Asquith Park is converted to a car park or part of a car park. The City's preferred options would result in additional green spaces, particularly if Asquith Park is converted to a car park. There is potentially an additional 257m2 of green space being provided which includes all three sites.
In regard to increased parking bays there is potentially an additional 25 parking bays, depending on the community preferences.
