There may be a glimmer of light for local commuters who are wondering about the location of a new commuter carpark at Woy Woy Station, with fences constructed recently at an existing Transport for NSW-owned carpark on Railway St.
Transport for NSW said the car park would be partially closed until April 1 whilst it undergoes ‘maintenance works’.
The long-awaited $5M project is expected to create 140 carparking spaces for Woy Woy commuters following bipartisan calls for more commuter carparks on the Coast.
Federal Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, said planning had been progressing, with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) undertaking investigations to deliver the best solution for the community and the local environment.
“The Federal Government is still waiting for a development proposal from TfNSW which has been delayed and is now expected this month,” Wicks said.
“I am frustrated with the time it has taken to get work underway for the Woy Woy Commuter Car Park, however the delivery timelines for this project are ultimately set by the NSW Government.
“While the Federal Government provides funding for infrastructure projects, we do not construct the project directly.
“We need to partner with either the State Government or Local Government to see the project delivered.
“The Federal Department is meeting with the NSW Department regularly and has provided assistance to ensure the more car parks are delivered at Woy Woy Train Station as soon as possible.”
