Council statement - Informal train station carpark in Thirroul

We recognise that community members are using the space off Lawrence Hargrave Drive as an informal carpark.

In 2022, Council worked with Sydney Trains (Transport for NSW) on a design for this southern carpark. This project was led by Sydney Trains. Feedback from Sydney Trains was that the construction funding lapsed.

Council values the informal car park as a commuter car park for the Thirroul community and we would support the implementation of this design.

As this is an informal carpark with no line markings, compliance is managed by NSW Police. If people experience issues, it would be a matter for NSW Police.

Council is not proposing to allocate funding or resources to this carpark.
