Better parking for hospital

Gosford Council has resolved to implement a 38-metre two hour parking restriction on the western side of Vidler Ave, Woy Woy, "to better provide for the parking needs of Brisbane Water Private Hospital".

A seven metre No Stopping restriction would extend north from the southern end of the street

Council also agreed to provide a 10 metre No Stopping restriction on the eastern side of Vidler St south from Dwyer Avenue, followed by a 25 metre two hour parking restriction to the entrance to the patient car park followed by a No Stopping restriction to the end of the street.

A patient of Brisbane Water Private Hospital requested Council consider altering the existing No Parking restriction between the Hospital's emergency entrance and the end of the road to timed parking restriction to provide more kerbside parking opportunities for patients and visitors.

An on-site meeting with the general manager of the hospital identified that the hospital had recently been upgraded, with the frontage to Vidler St reconstructed to provide only access for the emergency entrance.

The current No Parking restriction outside the hospital on both sides of Vidler St was no longer required for pick up and set down and would be better utilised for kerbside parking for patients and visitors, according to Council's Local Traffic Committee report.
