Arrival - Multi Deck Underground Carpark

The three car parking areas—the multi-deck underground, ground-level, and basement carparks—are all accessed from the same entrance points on Flintoff Street.

Arriving visitors move across Greensborough Walk to enter the Banyule City Council building. There is significant lighting and directional signage to support movement and increase confidence in wayfinding.

The space is often active, with cars parking and people moving to and from their vehicles. The environment is practical, supporting efficient access to surrounding facilities.
