Hazelbrook Village Centre: Car park
This consultation has concluded.
The car park at Hazelbrook Village is currently being upgraded to improve traffic flow and increase safety.
The upgrade is the first stage of changes outlined in Hazelbrook Village Masterplan, endorsed in 2018. Future stages are yet to be scoped and designed.
The upgrade that commenced on 11 January 2021 is expected to be completed within eight weeks (by early March 2021). Works are happening mainly at night to ensure minimal disruption to business and pedestrians (only towards the end of the project will some minimal work occur during daylight hours).
Following community consultation, over a number of years, Council is changing the direction of traffic in and out of the car park, adding a loading zone and upgrading all car parks to Australian standards.
Traffic will now run one way from the highway and exit at the north of the car park. Here vehicles can turn right at Stuart Place, then left or right into Rosedale Avenue.
Signage will direct vehicles (either eastbound to Sydney, or westbound to Katoomba/Lithgow), making it easier for vehicles to navigate.
There will also be a new loading zone at the entrance to the car park from the highway for improved access/delivery for local business. Pedestrian ‘Shared Zones’ will be upgraded to comply with RMS standards.
If you have further questions about the upgrade please contact Manager Special Projects, Russell Brecknell, on 0414 195 383.

Masterplan adopted
After significant community engagement including a final exhibition, the Council adopted the Hazelbrook Masterplan at the Council meeting of 14 July, 2014.
Council is continuing to implement the Masterplan recommendations in relation to the upper shopping centre carpark. The detailed designs for the carpark were on exhibition from the 4 December 2017 until the 15 January 2018.
The carpark designs have been developed to address the following:
- RMS standards to comply with the declared “Shared Zone”;
- Current Australian Standards for carparks; and
- Improvements to function and amenity as identified in the Masterplan.
