Fremantle’s Queensgate carpark set to partially open October 31

QUEENSGATE carpark may partially open on October 31.

Queensgate will provide free parking from October 31 until November 5 between 6am to 7pm.

The carpark, which had been closed since early April, will open with 470 bays.

Sirona Capital development manager Jonny Sheldrick said they were proud to meet their goal to open prior to Christmas.

“We would have liked for all work to be completed before re-opening,” he said.

“However we’ve taken the decision to honour our commitment to supporting local retailers and traders by reopening this month.”

Mr Sheldrick said many upgrades had been completed.

“Protective epoxy coatings on new decks, new paint to all surfaces line markings and new lighting and services throughout,” he said.

“Partial completion of the new stair and lift core will remain within Probuild’s construction work zone until these works are complete.

“The new lift and stairwell are still being completed and are expected in a few more months.

“The original lift and stairwell will be available until that time.”

Pricing at the carpark will open at $3 an hour and offers $9 for early bird all day parking.
