About the project

The corner of the D’Arcy Road and Kensington Avenue intersection was previously used as an informal parking area for residents and visitors accessing the local shopping precinct. 

Constructing a new formal car park on D’Arcy Road will ensure that people accessing local shops and visiting residents in the area have a safe and functional place to park, as well as reduce dust generated by the previous informal car park. 

Offset tree planting will occur in the local area, in line with our offset planting policy and relevant environmental legislation.

This project was funded through the Morningside Ward Suburban Enhancement Fund. 

Project details

Works started on the new car parking facility in late April and were completed end of June 2022.

As part of this project, we:

• undertook earthworks to create a level area for the new car park
• constructed the new car park, including kerb and channel, asphalt surfacing and line marking
• constructed a 1.2-metre-wide footpath between the new car park and existing footpath on Kensington Avenue
• upgraded the driveway entrances to create a dedicated entrance and exit
• completed turfing around the car park.

The formalised car park includes 10 car parks, including one disability parking bay.
