‘At this stage there are no plans to build any extra parking bays,’ she said.

However, Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones said he understood more parking was planned further south along Green Avenue as demand increased but the timing was unknown.

‘We do have many commuters come from surrounding suburbs who park their cars and catch public transport from Armadale,’ Cr Zelones said.

‘After a period of settling down following the upgrading of the station, parking has not been a significant issue for the city.’

Demand is set to increase as developments in nearby Sienna Wood and other estates throughout the city continue.
