Have your say on the Burke Avenue car park

Boroondara Council is aiming to reconfigure the car park in Burke Avenue, Camberwell to make it a more functional space.

The existing car park doesn’t cater for high pedestrian use and lacks public space. Pedestrian access and safety improvements would better serve car users and people who walk through the area to gain access to shops, services and employment.

The proposal includes:

• reconfiguration of the car park to allow more efficient use of space
• creation of two small seating areas
• pedestrian connections including zebra crossings
• retention of mature trees where practicable and planting of new trees
• 10 km/h shared zone along Burke Avenue, including an improved pedestrian environment at the intersection with Burke Road
• improvements in lighting, seating, landscaping and bicycle parking.

While the proposal would lead to the loss of seven parking spaces, it will allow for better use of the overall area through an improved layout.

How can you get involved?

Boroondara Council officers will be available on-site to discuss the proposal at the following times:

• 10am to 1pm on Saturday, April 16, 2016
• 2pm to 5pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2016.
