Description
The NSW Government’s Commuter Car Park Program provides more convenient access to public transport at key transport interchanges and helps to ease congestion on our roads. The Commuter Car Park Program has already delivered more than 12,000 commuter car spaces across Sydney since 2011, with around 6,000 additional spaces on the way. This project covers two carparks delivered as part of the commuter car park program, situated at Leppington and Edmondson Park, located in South-West Sydney.
The Leppington and Edmondson Park South car parks are five stories and six stories respectively and provide commuters with over 1,000 additional parking spaces each. The roof level of both car parks has steel roofing to support solar panels, which have been sized to cover the whole roof. Electricity generated by the panels exceeds the car parks operational energy requirement by over 140%. Electric vehicle charging points and additional infrastructure for future charging points have been provided throughout the car park. Rainwater has been captured in on-site storage and provision has been made for future retail spaces.
