Improving vehicle access on Sims Road

In July 2025, we told you our plan to paint 4m of no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines). We planned to paint them on the left side of the driveway at 7 Sims Road. This is next to the recently painted hockey sticks.  

We got feedback from a local business about how hard it is for heavy vehicles to access the area. So, we did more site observations. Based on what we saw and heard, we’ve updated the plan.

What’s changing

We’re now planning to:

• paint 5m of broken yellow lines with hockey stick markings on the northeast side of the kerb opposite 9 Sims Road to give heavy vehicles more room to enter and exit
• keep the original plan to paint 4m of broken yellow lines on the left side of the driveway at 7 Sims Road, next to the existing hockey sticks
• remove 2 on-street parking spaces to clear access and reallocate road space.

These changes will make it easier for all vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, to access Sims Road and nearby businesses.
