The decision to convert these streets to one-way was one of the clear recommendations of the Nelson Bay Independent Parking Panel in 2018.

The changes are designed to:

• improve traffic flow around the town centre by making it easier to navigate
• improve pedestrian safety around the Stockton and Donald Street intersections
• create 28 additional parking spaces (including 2 accessible spaces) and 6 motorcycle parking spaces by replacing some sections of parallel parking with angle parking
• make parking space access quicker with nose-in parking.
