Construction of the new Ellenbrook Train Station is now complete, expected to be open in early 2025. The City is aware that there will be increased pressure on parking in the vicinity of the train station once it opens and is taking a proactive approach to ensure that parking is managed in the Town Centre effectively.

We are now seeking your comments on the draft Parking Management Plan, which provides guidance on how parking could be managed in the Ellenbrook Town Centre.

The intent of the Parking Management Plan is to ensure that parking is available to visitors and customers in the Town Centre, and that commuters utilise the new train station parking in the dedicated parking area.

The City of Swan has started installing signage infrastructure, including poles, around Ellenbrook Town Centre in preparation for the new parking plan. While the plan has not been endorsed by Council yet, it will be reviewed at the December 11, 2024 Ordinary Council Meeting. The City is conducting these works ahead of time to minimise implementation delays following the December Ordinary Council Meeting.

There will be no enforcement of the instructions on the parking signage until the plan is endorsed and fees for ticketed areas have been publicly advertised. We are in the process of covering the signs until the parking restrictions are approved and come into effect.

We appreciate everyone taking the time to provide feedback on the Ellenbrook Parking Management Plan. To be able to manage increased parking pressures in the growing town centre, that is continuing to develop, a plan needs to be put in place.

Metronet have recently announced the opening date of the new Ellenbrook Train Station, you can view the information here.

• We have now reviewed all comments from the consultation and will be presenting the updated plan to council for endorsement.
• Restrictions will apply only on Monday - Friday between the hours of 8am - 5pm.
• The City does not support residential parking permits, on street parking will be limited to the above restrictions, and unlimited outside of hours and on weekends.
• The orange three-hour restrictions with an allocated one hour free are higher demand bays. The purpose of having only one hour free allows more availability for those who need to access businesses close by.
• The areas around the station are scheduled for implementation to manage the Ellenbrook Train Station.
• To ensure parking can be implemented prior to station opening signage is being installed currently.
• Enforcement of parking restrictions will only commence when all signage in an area is in place.
• Notification will be provided to the community prior to any enforcement commencing.

We will provide further updates on the parking plan shortly.
