DECISION
REACHED ON
CHURCH POINT
The Council has decided this week to approve a plan for a new 120 space
car park at McCarrs Creek Road, Church Point.
The plan will also see a realignment of the road, a new seawall and a
new boardwalk to improve safety for pedestrians and motorists.
In 2009 a Plan of Management was adopted for Church Point which
included improvements to infrastructure and open space and a new car
park.
Since then a new pontoon wharf and replacement of the fixed wharf have
occurred, along with an upgrade to the commuter wharf.
Council Director Chris Hunt said the next step in implementing the
Church Point Plan of Management would be the McCarrs Creek Road
component.
The Council considered three design options at last night’s meeting
which also includes the road realignment, new seawall and pedestrian
boardwalk. Options 1 and 2 were originally included in the Church Point
Plan of Management.
- Option 1 - a 60 space car park at road level with
front or rear to kerb parking - $5.4 million
- Option 2 - a 120 space car park with 60 car
spaces at road level plus 60 car spaces on a single deck above -
$7.4 million
- Option 3 - a 60 space car park (adjusted to 39
spaces) presented by Church Point Friends Group - $5.4 million.
Acting General Manager Steve Evans said that following detailed
analysis and community feedback, Option 2 provided the best triple
bottom line outcome that takes into account environmental, social and
economic considerations.
“The car park component of the project is to be financed via a loan
repaid by user pays income.”
He said the car park would be suitably landscaped with a façade of
recycled wharf timbers in keeping with the area’s maritime history.
“The Council will now move forward with this project and will apply for
a low interest rate loan under the State Government’s LIRS assistance
program.” he said.
