Wall Park Avenue, Seven Hills

Transport proposed changes to on-street parking on the north and south end of Wall Park Avenue, Seven Hills. The proposal also included the suggestion to formalise existing bus stops to bus zones. These changes would ensure that kerbside lanes are free to improve traffic flow and address concerns about parked cars along the street.
 
This proposal was presented to the community in December 2018 to gather feedback before any works began. A community consultation report was developed in April 2019 to summarise the comments received and our responses.

However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the proposed changes could not be implemented. 

Transport has restarted the project and carried out a parking survey, site investigation and a Have Your Say community consultation (PDF, 279.06 KB) for Wall Park Avenue in 2023. The community consultation took place between 24 May and 7 June 2023, with late submissions accepted until July 2023. Transport has released a Community Consultation Report to summarise the comments and our responses to feedback received in the consultation that took place in 2023.

The key benefits to the community include:

• improve safety for all road users and residents all the time
• reduce vehicle weaving due to parked vehicles on the road and limited sightlines in the vicinity of the Vertical Crest Curve
• provide better sight line for residents exiting and entering their driveways
• allow vehicles to overtake turning vehicles
• improve traffic capacity and traffic flow at signalised intersections and approaches resulting in quicker travel times
• improve travel times for bus customers and provide better bus stop safety and access.

The key features of the new amended improvements include:

• installing a full-time ‘No Stopping’ zone restriction along the northern and southern side on Wall Park Avenue between Blacktown Road and Prospect Highway, Seven Hills
• changing bus stops to bus zones which include bus zone signs at the start and end of the bus zones 
• increase driver awareness of the bus stop locations.

We have released a Community Consultation Report that summarises the comments and our responses to the feedback we received during the community consultation between May and July 2023. After reviewing the feedback, we have decided to go ahead with the proposal with minor changes in response to feedback received during the community consultation.

We will keep the community updated as the project progresses, with construction work expected to begin by mid-2024.

During December 2018, Transport invited the community and stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposal. A community consultation report was developed in April 2019 to summarise the comments received and our responses.

However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the proposed changes could not be implemented.
