Ku-ring-g*i’s dogs love going on walks with their owners but our neighbourhoods don't love dog droppings. Fines of $275 apply for not picking up after your dog, so please take doggy bags with you and dispose of them at home or in the nearest public bin. 🐕‍🦺 🐾 🐶

In the last five years there’s been an increase in short stay and commuter parking spaces to support patronage of local businesses and residences.
✅ 136 short stay spaces at the Lindfield Village Green, which is the same number as prior to construction.
✅ 105 new commuter parking spaces at the Village Green, intended for commuters.
✅ 112 street parking spaces on Tryon, Milray, and Havilah have been converted from time unrestricted to 2 hour park (or less) to encourage people to visit the shops. Prior to the change, these spaces were typically parked out by commuters.
✅ 64 visitor parking spaces under IGA.
✅ 43 visitor parking spaces under Harris Farm. (But yeah, I know those parking spaces are tight!!!)

The 105 commuter carpark section will be controlled by a different system that hasn’t been installed by the state gov yet. For more information on the system, visit this link

We’ve asked this a number of times. Apparently the costs involved to operate a licence recognition and boom gate system could not be justified by council staff. There were also complexities with operating one carpark that has two separate parking systems (with the State Government-run commuter carpark yet to have its system installed).

There’s been multiple reasons, with the main one (I’m told) being linkages to the delays from State Gov end. We also asked staff to consider installing 2P signage as a temporary measure before the meters became functional, but it was ultimately not implemented.
