Sunbury Multideck Car Park

There are competing demands on parking spaces near the station between commuters, shoppers and shop tenants.

Sunbury’s population is continuing to grow rapidly, and the 600 car parks currently available for commuters across the Sunbury Station precinct are well used from early in the morning during the week.

The new car park will help to cater for Sunbury’s population growth, encourage more people to catch the train and reduce commuter parking on surrounding streets.

The Sunbury station precinct has a complex mix of land ownership and regulatory arrangements. An option previously announced was to extend the existing local shopper multi-deck car park on the western side of the station.

Following site investigations and engagement with Hume City Council, building car parking on the corner of Station Street and Evans Street was found to be the ideal option to expand car parking.

This site provides more car parking with the funding available, and increases car parking not only for commuters, but for shoppers as well.

Since the project was announced, we have been working with local stakeholders, carrying out site investigations and assessments and conducted a design and feasibility study.

This process has taken some time because of the complex land arrangements around the station and the discovery that the original proposed site was not suitable.

We know that delivering extra car parking is essential for the growing Sunbury community, so the Australian and Victorian Governments and Hume City Council are now working together to ensure the parking can be delivered as soon as possible while delivering the best outcome for the whole community.

Yes. During the works period, commuter car parking to the south-east of the station will be closed.

Other all-day commuter car parking around Sunbury station will continue to be available during construction. 

Alternative all day commuter parking will also be available on Brook Street. 

There will also be some changes to pedestrian access along the railway line to the south east of Sunbury Station. Detours for pedestrians and cyclists will be signed during the works.

We will aim to minimise the impacts of works on station users, traders and nearby residents and notify of any further disruptions well in advance. Traffic control will also be in place to help manage construction-related traffic.

This work is not expected to cause any disruption to the public transport network, as the works are located well away from the railway line and roads used by bus routes.

For short term town centre parking we recommend making use of the on-street parking available south of Evans Street. There are over 200 on-street parking spaces in this area that are within 400m of the existing car park site. 
 
There are also 120 parking spaces available in Council’s carpark on Barkly Street. 

Other all-day commuter car parking around Sunbury station will remain open during construction, including accessible parking spaces. 
 
Free all-day car parking for public transport users will also be made available on Brook Street, at the rear of the Hume Global Learning Centre (a 600m / 7 minute walk, or 2-minute bus ride on Route 488 to Sunbury station).

Yes. Entry to retail stores in the area around the Evans Street car park construction site will be maintained at all times.  
 
We are working closely with traders to ensure their customers can still access their businesses. We are also working to minimise noise, dust and other potential impacts during the construction phase.

Yes, parking at the new multideck will be free of charge for all users.

Yes, there will be eight charging bays available at the new multideck for electric vehicles.
