Park & Ride - completed projects


A new park and ride facility has been constructed on the south-eastern corner of Well Station Drive and Flemington Road.

This project provides a third park and ride facility in the Gungahlin region (EPIC and Gungahlin Town Centre). It provides additional opportunities to actively travel for those cycling from the outer suburbs of Gungahlin as well as those travelling by car who don’t want to travel extensive distances by car.

Key features

  • Car parking facilities for more than 170 vehicles.
  • Bike parking facilities.
  • Designated accessible parking spaces.
  • Provision of right turn bay and left turn slip lane into the facility from Well Station Drive and standard left/right movements out.
  • New paths linking to the existing signalised intersection of Flemington Road and Well Station Drive, including a 2.5 metre wide path connecting the existing bus stops on Well Station Drive.
  • New and upgraded street lighting.
  • Line marking, signage and landscaping.

Construction

  • Start date: March 2021
  • Completion date: November 2021

Parking lot

Additional parking for the Wanniassa Park and Ride near the corner of Rylah Crescent and Langdon Avenue was provided in 2020. Since its opening, this park and ride experienced huge growth in its use, with additional capacity necessary to make accessing Rapid services more convenient for even more passengers.

This project consisted of three elements:

  1. expanding the park and ride facility near the corner of Rylah Crescent and Langdon Avenue
  2. formalising kerbside parking along Rylah Crescent and installing park and ride signage
  3. installing park and ride signage in the existing car park behind the Wanniassa shops to create more capacity for park and ride use.

When it first opened the park and ride had 58 spaces. This project delivered an additional 43 spaces with the capacity for park and ride at Wanniassa now 101.

Construction

  • Start date: August 2020
  • Completion date: November 2020

Additional parking for the North Weston Park and Ride located on Kirkpatrick Street was provided in 2020. This park and ride has proved very popular since it opened in 2014, and recent and expected growth in the Molonglo region will place extra pressure on it in the future. This location has been expanded by more than 40 car spaces which will enable more Canberrans to use the park and ride to access the new Rapid services.
