Revised proposed plan of upgrades to Morce Avenue car park.

Download copy of plan here.

We received extensive feedback, from locals, businesses and visitors, on the plan options in March 2025. Taking this into account and ensuring we addressed the loading requirements for Morce Avenue businesses, we revised the preferred plan. If implemented this will provide and additional 95 parking spaces.

In response to feedback on restrictions, we propose the 1P on-street parking, within the Ocean Beach Road commercial area and adjoining streets (as seen in yellow in the below plan), all becomes 2P. Also parking within the Morce Avenue car park to be a combination of 3P and all-day spaces.

The proposed changes will not impact existing short-term parking and disabled car parking spaces currently available on Ocean Beach Road.

We are proposing to install wayfinding signage for Morce Avenue car park at key intersections throughout the activity centre.

As part of our ongoing investigations into increasing parking space availability in Sorrento, we are looking at introducing angled parking along 190 metres on one side of Hotham Road (adjacent to David MacFarlan Reserve). This will deliver a total of approximately 46 parking spaces an addition of 19 spaces from current parallel parking.

The addition of angle parking along Hotham Road can be easily implemented on this wide local street with minimal impact on passing traffic. With the street’s relatively low traffic volumes and speeds, angle parking will provide a safe and convenient option for residents and visitors.

This cost-effective option can be implemented immediately, increasing parking supply in the area as identified in the David Macfarlan Reserve Master Plan.
