• Three new 15 minute parking bays on Mends Street to facilitate short term parking
• Parking for construction and contractor workers on Melville Parade to reduce their impact on parking availability
• New wayfinding signs to assist visitors locate free short-stay parking in the area, including the South Shore car park
• New dynamic sign showing the number of available parking bays at South Shore - to be installed late September
• Promotional signage in the precinct to remind shoppers that Mends Street is open for business and to encourage visitation
• Place activation consultants are working with Mends Street businesses on a number of activation initiatives to support them through this period of transition.
