ACT Sportsgrounds will be a focus of parking operations for the next two months, starting Wednesday 13th May. Parking operations will attend Sportsgrounds that have historic high levels of non-compliance and illegal parking such as the following identified grounds.
- Kaleen
- Harrison
- O’Connor
- Dickson
Patrols will occur on one weeknight a fortnight and most Saturdays and Sundays.
With only 259 parking spots via Birie and Turon Place, parking is at a premium at Kaleen. On-street parking is available, but please be respectful of local residents and park safely/legally.
Parking inspectors regularly patrol the vicinity of sports grounds to support safe parking. You can be fined for parking a vehicle:
- on a footpath
- on a nature strip or roadside verge
- on the wrong side of the road and not in the direction of travel
- within 3m of a solid unbroken dividing line, this means the majority of Diamantina!
A parking hack worth considering at Kaleen is instead parking illegally on Diamantina Cres, try parking on roads off Diamantina:
- Fitzmaurice Street
- Bulloo Place
- Liffey Circuit
- Fortescue Place
- Paroo Place
- Whalan Place
- Snowy Place
- Amadeus Place
- Sherlock Street
- Neales Street
- Balonne Street
- Loddon Street
- Maranoa Street
- Cloncurry Street
Also consider parking on the other side of the stormwater drain on these roads:
Other parking spots recommended by Access Canberra are:
Otherwise, please consider:
- carpooling
- public transport
- taxi (ACT Cabs, 13cabs, Silver Service)
- ride-share (Uber, Shebah)
- riding a bike
