Community feedback is being sought on a Ku-ring-gai Council proposal to set aside space in five Council carparks for fast electric vehicle charging.
Across the Ku-ring-gai Council area, some 3,000 electric vehicles were registered as of July 2024 – one of the highest numbers of electric vehicle registrations for any council area in NSW.
Council is now seeking feedback on the proposal to install 20 fast charging bays at the following five council carparks:
- 2 Lord Street, Roseville
- 11 Bradfield Road, Lindfield
- 1 Reading Avenue, East Killara
- 2-8 Turramurra Avenue and Gilroy Lane, Turramurra
- 9 Coonanbarra Road, Wahroonga
Evie Networks has received a NSW Government grant to install and operate the chargers, which are expected to be operational in 2025.
There are currently 23 public electric vehicle charging ports across Ku-ring-gai, on both private and public land. Council is currently progressing installation of four charging bays at two other locations.
While many community members have access to off-street charging at home, a growing number of members will be reliant on public charging infrastructure, Council said in a statement.
