Parking at Beecroft Village

There are roughly 211 car park spaces within Beecroft Shopping Village that are restricted duration not available to commuters using the train.
Over and around The Module 97 spaces.
Outside the Arcade 65 spaces.
Around Raine and Horne 22 spaces.
Firestation Carpark 27 spaces.
There are also about 32 short term street parking spaces on Hannah and Wongalla.

Of these, the currently published plan for Beecroft rezoning appears to remove most of those. Although not explicitly stated, it appears the 33 spaces to the north and the 27 by the firestation, both shown as "existing shoppers car park", are the only ones being retained, with the expectation that underground car parking will substitute for the present open air parking. Is this realistic? And if the existing car parks are removed even temporarily without replacement, the village will die through inability to park, and probably never recover.

Have your say on this by email to housing@hornsby.nsw.gov.au
or in writing to
General Manager, Hornsby Shire Council, PO Box 37, Hornsby 1630.
Submissions must be in by 23 April.
