Parking may be limited at caravan park

Parking may be limited to 15 minutes on both sides of the access road north from the entry of the Ocean Beach Caravan Park.

Gosford Council's Local Traffic Committee has recommended that the timed parking be located for 63 metres to the existing No Parking zone.

A visitor to Ocean Beach Caravan Park complained that no space was available for a caravan park user to park to check in and out, as the area was often occupied all day.

According to a council staff report to the Local Traffic Committee, the long-term parking leads to caravan park users double parking along the check-in or check-out area which causes traffic congestion.

The customer requested Council to solve the issue by installing parking restrictions to eliminate the long-term parking within the area.

A site inspection by council officers revealed that currently the check-in or check-out areas were located on Council land for 75 metres along both sides of the access road to the caravan park.

There were no existing parking restrictions within this section of the road, only check-in-check-out signs which were not installed by Council.

The report stated that there appeared to be a high turn-over during peak times for caravan park users to check-in or check-out.
