Parking provided in Bowden Rd

A No Stopping restriction will be placed on the northern side of Bowden Rd, Woy Woy, and a one hour parking restriction from 8am to 5pm weekdays will immediately follow.

The No Stopping restriction will be placed immediately east of Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, for a length of 10 metres, while the parking restriction will be provided for a length of 15 metres.

The changes were agreed to by Gosford Council on Tuesday, March 26, following a recommendation by Council's Local Traffic Committee

After Woy Woy Veterinary Hospital requested short term parking restrictions be provided adjacent to their premises in Bowden Rd.

Council's Local Traffic Committee report of Monday, February 4, stated that the street was usually fully occupied by long term parked vehicles or parents of students attending Woy Woy Primary School.

The timed parking restriction between Bowden Rd and the entrance to the Hospital would provide short term parking for customers attending the veterinary hospital with sick animals.

Council's investigation confirmed that there was no vehicular access to the hospital or onsite parking available for customers.

The Hospital operates between 8:30am and 10am and 3:30pm and 4:30pm.

There are currently no parking restrictions in place in Bowden Rd.

The Local traffic Committee recognised in its report the demand for both short and long term parking due to Bowden Road's close proximity to the Woy Woy Shopping Village and placement within one kilometre of the Woy Woy Transport Node.
