5446 - PARK-AND-RIDE SERVICE IN THE HUNTER

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure

Considering the University of Newcastle's NeW Space will implement a park-and-ride service from Callaghan Campus, will the Minister work with the relevant Commonwealth offices and the University to establish a park-and-ride loop which utilises the thousands of spaces at Hunter Stadium and includes the John Hunter Hospital and Mater Hospital?
Answer -

I am advised:

The University of Newcastle will provide a park and ride service which links Callaghan and the Newcastle CBD, for students travelling between the two campuses.

A proactive approach to managing parking is an important part of an integrated transport solution for Newcastle.

In April, the NSW Government released the Newcastle City Centre Parking Strategy, which sets a future direction for Newcastle City Council to consider as they plan parking supply and management of parking for their growing city.

The Strategy recommends Council investigate opportunities for Park and Ride facilities to the north and west of the city centre.

The Government is also delivering significant improvements in public transport, with Newcastle Transport set to overhaul the bus and ferry timetable in early 2018, and light rail services starting in early 2019.
