The City of Ryde is undertaking a second stage of community engagement on proposed parking changes at Buena Vista Avenue, Denistone to allow safe access for waste vehicles during collection times.

In June 2024, the City of Ryde invited feedback on the proposal to install “NO PARKING: 5AM-11AM WEDNESDAY, WASTE VEHICLES EXCEPTED” and “NO STOPPING” zones on Buena Vista Avenue, Denistone. Further details are available on the Past Have Your Say page.

Council assessed the community feedback received and acknowledged residents' concerns about loss of on street parking. As such, Council amended the proposal to provide unrestricted parking where it was determined functional and safe.

On 27 June 2024, the Ryde Traffic Committee considered the amended proposal, and their recommendation was then discussed at the Council Meeting held on Tuesday 23 July 2024.


At this meeting, Council resolved for further consultation to be undertaken with street residents.

Details on the proposed parking changes and information on how you can Have Your Say are outlined below. Council will also be hosting on-site information sessions for residents of Buena Vista Avenue.

What are the proposed parking changes?

Council is proposing to make the following parking changes on Buena Vista Avenue, Denistone:

  • A “NO STOPPING” zone be installed on both sides of Buena Vista Avenue at the property frontages of 14,19-23, and 47-51 Buena Vista Avenue, Denistone.
  • A “NO PARKING 5AM-11AM WEDNESDAY, WASTE VEHICLES EXCEPTED” zone be installed on both sides of Buena Vista Avenue (loop road) except along the frontages of property nos. 14, 18, 26 – 28, 29, 35, 39 and 43 Buena Vista Avenue, Denistone.

For reference only. Exact location may vary.

Why are the changes being proposed?

The width of Buena Vista Avenue is approximately 4.5m. When vehicles are parked on both sides of this street, they restrict the safe manoeuvring of waste collection trucks.

To facilitate the safe and efficient movement of waste trucks, Council is proposing to install “NO PARKING: 5AM-11AM WEDNESDAY, WASTE VEHICLES EXCEPTED” and “NO STOPPING” zones on Buena Vista Avenue.
