About the project

We’ve received requests from members of the community to improve vehicle access along Glengarry Road in Glen Eden. When vehicles are parked on the side of the road in some locations this can make it difficult for other traffic to drive through safely, with drivers, including bus drivers, sometimes needing to cross the centreline.

In some locations having cars parked on the side of the road can also cause visibility issues where people are crossing the road. To improve safety and visibility on Glengarry Road, we are planning to implement some changes.


The changes we’re making

  • Paint “no stopping at all times” (broken yellow lines) on Glengarry Road
    1. Between #359 and #355, to improve visibility for the crossing locations with approximately 2–3 parking spaces removed.
    2. Between #315 and #313 in the intersection of Nicolas Avenue and Glengarry Road, no parking spaces are proposed to be removed. As parking is not permitted within 6m of an intersection, the new markings will highlight to drivers that parking is not legally permitted here.
    3. Between #261 and #253(near Solar Road), approximately 9 parking spaces are proposed to be removed on the carriageway to improve vehicle access, allowing traffic to pass safely without needing to cross the centreline.

Benefits to your community:

  • Ease of access for all residents, emergency services and large vehicles such as buses along Glengarry Road
  • Improves visibility for drivers to see oncoming vehicles as well as people walking, cycling and crossing the road.
  • Improves safety by preventing parked vehicles from obstructing the view for drivers coming out of driveways and access to homes along the road during emergency situations.

Commnunity Engagement

We engaged with the community on this proposal from 6 May 2026 to 25 May 2026 and received 75 pieces of feedback.

  • 69 supported the planned changes
  • 4 opposed the planned changes
  • 2 supported additional measures to the restrictions proposed, such as additional sections of broken yellow lines.

What happens next

  • The public feedback has indicated the community are largely in support of the proposed changes. As a result, we will start working on the legal resolution process for the proposed parking restrictions. This resolution process must occur before we can install new parking restrictions to enable enforcement of the new parking restrictions.
  • Once the legal resolution process is complete, our contractor will be instructed to install the new parking restrictions. This will usually take place during a night shift to minimize disruption to traffic. Nearby residents will be advised by letter before the works take place.
