Consultation summary
During April / May 2025 you shared your feedback on our proposed Car Parking Management Plan for Sunshine Hospital and Ginifer Station Areas. Here's what we heard.
Feedback across all zones
| You said | We Will |
| Increase parking enforcement | Conduct more frequent patrols once signs are installed, especially in parking areas that pose safety risks. |
| Change permit parking | Use an online system which allows for vehicle registrations to be linked to digital permits that can be updated in real time. Because of this flexibility, physical permits are no longer an option. |
| There are issues with traffic congestion | Paint parking lines on the road to help drivers park closer to the kerb. This will make sure there's enough space for essential vehicles (like ambulances, fire trucks, or even large delivery trucks) to get through safely. |
| Finding a carpark is challenging | Review the parking time restrictions to reflect the demands of users. There will be all day parking opportunities. |
| It can be hard to enter/exit driveways | Paint parking bays on roads, to help drivers keep driveways clear. |
| Road safety is a concern at bends | Review parking at bends, and if there are any safety concerns parking will be prohibited. |
| We need more carparking at Sunshine Hospital and Ginifer Station | Direct your feedback to Western Health and Department of Transport and Planning. Council will request that Metro Trains Melbourne review short term parking options at Willaton Street. |

| There is congestion and lack of parking during School drop off and pick up. | Change all day parking close to Jackson School to be timed parking. |
| We need a traffic signal at Majorca St and Furlong Rd. | Forward this feedback to the Department of Transport and Planning for review and investigation. The Department of Transport and Planning manages this intersection. |
| We want to keep the existing permit zone restrictions. | Modify the existing streets that have Permit Zone parking such as Gumtree Cl, Santiago St, Boroda Ct & Camara St to align with the proposed restrictions within the surrounding streets. |
| Entering Mulhall Drive from the side streets can be a safety risk. | Introduce 2P restrictions along Mulhall Dr to allow turnover of vehicles to improve sightlines at intersections. Council will review if No Stopping anytime parking restrictions are required to improve slight lines at these intersections. |
| There are issues around the Hospital parking and emergency parking. | Encourage you to direct your feedback to Western Health website or email feedback@wh.org.au. |
