The Reserve Rd car park (accessed via Inglesby Rd), near Camberwell Primary School and Council buildings, has been closed and will no longer be available as a car park.

The closure will impact teachers, Boroondata Council employees and visitors who currently use the car park.

Car park users are asked to consider using nearby street parking and public car parks after this date.

Boroondara Council says it will monitor the impacts of this closure on parking in the surrounding area and consider implementing any changes to parking restrictions if required.

The Council is keen to spread the message that it is the State Government has decided to convert the public car park area into a playground and play space for Camberwell Primary School.

“The Reserve Rd car park is on Crown land for which Council has been the committee of management; however, the land is not owned by Council,” said a City of Boroondara statement.

“The Victorian School Building Authority has confirmed Camberwell Primary School is supportive of community use of this area outside school hours.

“We are currently waiting for the VSBA to release their final concept design for the school playground area which is proposed. Final details for community access are still to be confirmed. It is believed construction works to redevelop the site will commence sometime in early 2023.
It is understood that the State Government does not plan to consult with Council or the wider community on the plans for this redevelopment,” the Council statement said.
