Temporary carpark for commuuters

Peninsula commuters will be expected to park in the temporary car park near Woy Woy Oval by mid April, according to the Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation.

The temporary car park is part of a larger plan to expand the existing Woy Woy Commuter Car Park providing an additional 300 car parking spaces.

The temporary car park will provide 185 spaces to compensate for the loss of commuter car parking during construction.

Construction for the temporary car park started in February.

It will be opened to coincide with the start of works for the new commuter car park in mid-April.

The new car park is expected to be complete in early 2011.

Three additional storeys of parking will be built above a portion of the existing Deepwater Plaza car park located off George St providing approximately 300 additional commuter car parking spaces.

The temporary car park is being constructed north of Woy Woy Oval and Austin Butler Oval and east of the existing car park off Chambers Pl.

The new temporary car park will be constructed in stages so that the number of car park spaces in the existing car park will be maintained throughout the construction period," according to the TIDC website.

During construction of the temporary car park, there will be no access to the existing car park, Woy Woy Oval tennis courts or Woy Woy Rugby Union Club from Brick Wharf Rd.

Access will be via the existing entry at Chambers Pl only.
