Jolimont townhouse development raises more parking pressure concerns near busy western suburbs netball centre

Key points

• A proposed 27-townhouse development in Jolimont could increase parking pressure near the Matthews’ Netball Centre in Wembley. The development, on vacant land at the corner of Allison Drive and Salvado Road, includes 26 three-bedroom homes and one two-bedroom home, with seven accessible townhouses.
• Although each townhouse has a double garage, there are no dedicated visitor parking spaces.
• A parking assessment found the project would generate demand for about six to seven vehicles, but surrounding streets could accommodate the demand, even during peak netball season.
