Purewa Road, Meadowbank - Parking availability improvements

Consultation Outcome

Thank you for your patience while we finalised the proposal outcome. We also thank everyone who provided feedback on our proposal to improve parking availability on Purewa Road, Meadowbank.

We received 27 submissions in total:

• 24 submissions were received through the online survey

• 3 submissions were received via email

Eight of the 27 submissions were supportive, while the remaining 19 opposed the proposal.

After carefully reviewing the feedback we received, we are proceeding with the following change to the original design to better reflect community concerns:

• Outside 3 Purewa Road

Install P120 (2-hour) time restrictions on 4 parking spaces, from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. This will provide short-term parking for contractors and visitors in the area.

• Opposite 9 Purewa Road

Install P4 hours (P240 minutes) time restriction on 3 parking spaces, from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday This will provide medium‑term parking to better support commuters.

Project update (July 2026)

We are currently reviewing all feedback received. The project team will report back on the proposal outcomes in September 2026.

About the project

We’re proposing to introduce time restrictions on some angled parking spaces on Purewa Road to better manage parking demand for residents, commuters, and visitors to the Ōrākei Basin and the Meadowbank train station.

Time‑limited parking helps encourage turnover and makes parking spaces available to more people throughout the day.

Outside these hours, the spaces will be unrestricted parking.

Benefits and impacts

• Providing a mix of short‑ and medium‑term parking to better meet different parking needs.
• Helping balance parking demand for residents, commuters, and visitors to the area.
• Improving access for people visiting the Ōrākei Basin and Meadowbank train station.

Additional information

The proposed P120 and P240 time restrictions are separate from the temporary parking and bus stop changes implemented near Meadowbank Train Station as part of construction works. The proposed time restrictions aim to address ongoing parking demand in the area.
