Transport Canberra and City Services (TCCS) has relocated 16 Park and Ride spaces to Moyes Crescent from the car park on Section 89 opposite Kippax Fair. This has allowed those spaces to be converted to long-stay parking to cater for demand in the group centre car park. TCCS is also investigating lighting and path condition to ensure safe pedestrian access between the group centre and Moyes Crescent.
The Section 89 car park has 117 spaces. It now comprises 95 2-hour and 3-hour parking spaces, 16 unrestricted spaces and six accessible spaces. The peak use of this car park was 84 per cent. The predominant allocation of time restrictions within this car park is important to ensure parking spaces close to the shopping centre for customers and other short-stay visitors. Prioritising close parking for short-stay visitors is a common approach used to support the economic and social function of centres.
These parking changes took effect on Monday, 6 February 2023. The ACT Government is continuing to review parking arrangements at Kippax, including reviewing the layout and location of parking to identify possible opportunities to optimise the number of spaces.
TCCS has installed corflute signs at Kippax which highlight the new parking arrangements. A corflute sign with a map will be installed to show the location of the parking spaces on Moyes Crescent and the new long-stay spaces.
Regarding the reopening of the Section 53 car park pending its redevelopment, the ACT Government is unable to provide public liability insurance to cover privately leased areas. However, the ACT Government would be supportive of Kippax Fair entering into a private arrangement with the new owner to reopen the car park on a temporary basis pending construction works to redevelop the site.
The provision of more parking at the group centre will be considered as part of the future expansion of the shopping centre.
I trust this information is of assistance.
