Permanent on-street parking on Alfred Street North

Have your say

We are seeking your feedback on proposed options to return more on-street parking on Alfred Street North than what was originally planned, as well as proposed changes to North Sydney Council parking restrictions. We want to find out which on-street parking proposals are supported by the community so these permanent on-street parking spaces can be implemented when we finish our work.

Following comprehensive site investigations and consultation with residents and North Sydney Council, parking options have been developed. These options consider the parking needs of the local community while maintaining existing limited green spaces. We are also seeking your feedback on parking permit areas, timed parking restrictions and dedicated car share spaces on Alfred Street North.

Feedback form instructions

These will be your on-street parking spaces, and we want to make sure you have the opportunity to have your say.

The feedback form has been divided into two different locations:

1. Lower Alfred Street North - between Whaling Road and Ridge Street shared user bridge (Includes three sections)

2. Upper Alfred Street North - between Ridge Street shared user bridge and Merlin Street (Includes four sections)

You can provide feedback on one of these locations or both.

Please use the drop-down option at the bottom of this page to select which location you want to provide feedback on. Press next at the bottom of each page before clicking submit.

The closing date for your feedback is 5pm Sunday 26 October 2025.

Section 1 – Proposed designs to return more permanent on-street parking on Alfred Street North near Whaling Road and between Kurraba Road and Darley Road
Please share your feedback on the options that are relevant to you, you do not have to provide feedback on the on-street parking in all locations.

a. Whaling Road to Mount Street

    Minimum parking spaces to be reinstated

    • Four (4) parallel parking spaces between Whaling Road and High Street.

    • Two (2) parallel parking spaces reinstated at Whaling Road reserve, Whaling Road.

    Proposed additional on-street parking

      Parallel parking spaces are proposed north of Whaling Road and accessed from Alfred Street North travelling southbound.

      This would provide up to four (4) more permanent on-street parking spaces in this area than currently planned.

      Following feedback from residents and businesses loading zone spaces are proposed in this area.

      Refer to the parking options map above.

Your feedback (Please select one choice)

b. Kurraba Road to Darley Street

    Minimum parking spaces to be reinstated

      10 parallel on-street parking spaces on Alfred Street North southbound between Darley Street and Kurraba Road (west side of Alfred Street North).

    Proposed additional on-street parking

      Permanent diagonal parking spaces are proposed on the Western side of Alfred Street North between Kurraba Road and Darley Street. The spots can on be accessed southbound from Bent Street or Darley Street.

      This would provide up to eight (8) more permanent on-street parking spaces in this area than are facilitated in a parallel parking only arrangement.

      This will make it a total of 18 permanent on-street parking spaces, including 16 diagonal parking spaces and 2 parallel parking spaces closer to Darley Street.

      These permanently line marked spaces are opposite the Alfred Street North residential properties and will not impact the existing on-street residential parking on the eastern side of Alfred Street North.

      During construction, we have temporarily implemented some diagonal parking in this area.

      Following previous consultation there is also support to convert these parking spaces on the western side of Alfred Steet North, south of Darley Street from unrestricted parking to restricted (2P-8:30am-6pm Mon-Fri Permit Holders Excepted).

      Refer to in the parking options map above.

Section 2 – North Sydney Council parking permit area amalgamation and proposed parking restrictions.
On behalf of North Sydney Council, we are also seeking your feedback on proposed changes to parking permit areas and parking restrictions. To help mitigate the impacts of parking removal we have reviewed parking and parking restrictions on and near Alfred Street North. So you can consider both the proposed parking locations and the restrictions for those spaces at the same time, we have included them as part of this consultation. Please share your feedback on the options that are relevant to you.

a. The amalgamation of two parking permit areas

    We are seeking community feedback on the amalgamation of two parking permit areas, Area 1 and Area 30 on Alfred Street North. This would permit residents with a valid parking permit for either area to use on-street parking in both areas. All parking restrictions will be subject to 8:30am to 6:00pm Permit Holders Excepted Area 30 and Area 1 (some exceptions apply). Parking permit Area 30 and Area 1 are outlined on the map above.

Please select one choice

b. Parking restrictions in the area

    We have worked with Council to review existing and current parking restrictions in the area. To prioritise parking for local residents and businesses, Council is proposing a mixture of 2P and 9P metered and un-metered (8:30am-6:00pm Permit Holders Excepted Area 30 and Area 1) with the exception of designated areas and loading zones.

    The proposed parking restrictions on Alfred Street North are in line with the Standard Resident Parking Restrictions for North Sydney. Parking meters removed during construction are being reinstated as parking is returned along Alfred Street North. Overall parking restrictions are in line with previous meter parking restriction locations but there are proposed differences to 9P and 2P timed parking in different areas to residential permit holders. Parking meters temporarily removed during construction are being reinstated as parking is returned along Alfred Street North. Overall parking restrictions are in line with previous meter parking restriction locations but there are proposed differences to 9P and 2P timed parking in different areas to residential permit holders.

Section 1 – Proposed design to return 26 permanent on-street parking on Alfred Street North between Rose Avenue and Merlin Street

Please share your feedback on the options that are relevant to you, you do not have to provide feedback on the on-street parking in all locations.

Alfred Street North between Rose Avenue and Merlin Street

    Minimum parking spaces to be reinstated

    • No on-street parking spaces are currently planned between Rose Avenue and Wyagdon Street due to space constraints.

    • Seven (7) on-street parking spaces are currently planned between Wyagdon Street and Merlin Street.

    Proposed additional on-street parking and detour

      A combination of parallel and diagonal parking spaces is proposed. Due to space constraints, these spaces can only be implemented if Alfred Street North is permanently converted to one-way northbound between Rose Avenue and Merlin Street.

      This would provide up to 19 more permanent on-street parking spaces in this area than currently planned, making it a total of 26 permanent on-street parking spaces in this area. Out of these proposed parking spaces,

      • 15 parallel on-street parking spaces are proposed between Rose Avenue and Wyagdon Street

      • An additional four (4) on-street parking spaces are proposed by converting the spaces from parallel to diagonal, an increase from seven (7) to 11 parking spaces, between Wyagdon Street and Merlin Street.

      Refer to the parking options map above.

      Access to the proposed parking spaces:

      • These spaces would be accessed from Alfred Street North travelling one-way northbound only.

      • Rose Avenue and Wyagdon Street would be accessed by right turn from Alfred Street North and exit via right turn only to Alfred Street North northbound.

      • A U-turn will be established at the intersection of Merlin Street, Alfred Street North and McIntosh Lane.

      Please view the detour map HERE.

      Motorists are expected to experience around a five minutes additional travel time when accessing these spaces via Bent Street and Winter Avenue or from Mount Street and Alfred Street North northbound.

      For safety reasons, the speed limit of the one-way northbound will be reduced from 50km/h to 30hm/h.

      Please note that the temporary construction carpark on Merlin Street will also be returned to the community as a park as originally committed, no parking will remain in Merlin Street reserve.
