Nelson Bay Smart Parking

We've conducted a thorough review of existing town centre parking restrictions to assess their consistency and effectiveness.

To improve traffic flow and safety, we've converted Yacaaba and Stockton Streets into one-way streets from Donald to Tomaree Streets.

The disused and structurally damaged multi-storey carpark at Donald Street East was demolished  in late October 2019.

Following the demolition of the existing carpark, we designed and constructed a new carpark at Donald Street East.

Parking meter expansion covering the town centre.

Stockton and Tomaree Street carpark (former service station site) leased site to allow adhoc, unmetered parking.

Pavement marking all car parking spaces within the town centre.

To improve pedestrian safety, we have expanded the 40km/h high pedestrian area.

We have updated shared zone pavement markings and signage to reflect current guidelines.

We have implemented sensors, apps, and signage for parking management.

We have modernised parking meters with 'pay by plate' technology for a more convenient and efficient parking experience.

We have upgraded Stockton Street traffic signals to allow pedestrian scrambles and wider crossings.

Traffic and parking upgrades - We have installed parking meters along the Nelson Bay Foreshore.

We have formalised the car park from Nelson Bay to Ngioka Car Park, Little Beach.

Due to limited funding and internal borrowing, we've had to defer pavement marking on Magnus, Yaccaaba and Stockton Streets in Nelson Bay until the 24/25 financial year.

New signage will be installed in late 2024 to help visitors navigate Nelson Bay's Town Centre and Foreshore.

The new signs will provide information about parking locations and replace existing electronic parking signs.

This change was requested by the Nelson Bay business community to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and focus on improving the town centre and implementing the Nelson Bay Public Domain Plan.
