A high proportion of the land in City West is used for surface car parking. This weakens the definition of the links between the activities and destinations in the area.
According to Maunsell (2002), there are approximately 6,400 off-street car parking spaces available in City West. There are 174 on-street, short-stay car parking spaces along Childers Street, Farrell Street, London Circuit, Marcus Clarke Street, Rudd Street, University Avenue and West Row. There are no long stay, on-street car parking spaces in City West. There is a privately owned car park structure along Childers Street for 1,100 cars. The large number of spaces available, in conjunction with a low overall occupancy rate of 48%, indicate that car parking in City West is sufficient for current demand.
The structured car parks in City West and the ANU lack active ground floor uses, creating public open spaces that languish at street level.
