The lease for temporary public car parking was approved at the last meeting of council.
The council had proactively sought the new lease as the existing car park at 35-39 Donald Street – the ground floor level car park on the corner of Donald and Yacaaba streets – was “currently on a month to month lease and could be terminated at any time”.
In June, Anchor Property Group Pty Ltd lodged an $18 million DA for a mixed use development comprising 60 residential units and two units of retail/commercial premises at the Donald Street car park site.
The council will have four car parking options in the Nelson Bay CBD during summer: the newly announced space in Stockton Street, the one on the corner of Donald and Yacaaba streets, one in Victoria Parade and the ground floor level of the multi-storey car park in Yacaaba Street.
