So another carpark is going up? I walked from the bus station to Waymouth Street this morning.

- the carpark on top of Truscotts
- temporary carpark in between Trustcotts and the Bus Station
- the Bus Station carpark
- Young Street carpark
- Henry Waymouth carpark(behind Workcover)

Yesterday I parked in Young Street carpark. Got there just before 9:00am and parked on Level 2. Young Street is now 6 levels, but only 2 of them are being used. There isn't enough demand.

And now they're building another one????

Talk about over-supply!

so your 1 trip into a car park prior to 9am indicates that there is an undersupply of carparks

I park down rundle street between the Upark on HJ's and the Ezipark accross the road from the Megistic gardens hotel

both always 80% capacity when I am there (probably closer to 90%) - there is a significant demand for car parking in the city...on week days.

Yeah, I was talking about the Franklin Street area.

It was just before 9:00. I would have thought that the busiest time for car parks in the area would be up to 9:00. You'd probably get 80-90% of your customers in that time.

And yeah, it's going to be a busy area in 5-10 years time. But that's still 5-10 years away

Its a very different dynamic parking west of KWS. If you work in the eastern part of the CBD, parking near the bus station makes very little sense. Even those on waymouth/currie have better options in playhouse/topham. I imagine all of these parks around franklin would be deserted on weekends, seeing as there's no retail nearby. Contrast that to rundle st carparks.

The solar-system themed park on Wyatt St has so few casual parks available they slug about $18/day for earlybird. Aside from the fact that paying nearly $20/day for parking in Adelaide is a sign you've got too much money, that says to me that people prefer the extra $$$ than paying $13 and having to walk a few blocks.

Or $10.50 at the bus station.

Big ugly car park going up, provision for future office on top, I can't tell? Could easily be another car park site for years to come.

Those two office developments can't get built quickly enough! The carparks are hideous.

The ACC should look at making a planning by-law that all carparking be built underground.

I seriously don't understand why Frankin St needs so many carparks..

How's this for a suggestion - must be some significant development coming around there that needs the parks - lots of money to be made.

this is might just end up like that one on Wakefield street. Stage 1 carpark, stage 2 office never happens.

Ugh a carpark..

The office developments of both projects can't come soon enough! What a blight on the streetscape.

[Mants]

can this area of town sustain two new carparks of this size at the moment?! surely they would rely on the adjoining offices for their operation to remain feasible.

[skyliner]

You would think that all these car car builders have done some H/W concerning demand - infers much for the future of that area.
