Cabra-Vale Diggers

Cabra-Vale Diggers

Cabra-Vale Diggers is a large, community social club located in Canley Vale in Sydney’s south west. It offers its members a selection of entertainment, function and dining options and supports a wide range of non-profit organisations in the local community.

Currently undergoing a 5-stage redevelopment to upgrade and expand its facilities, Park Agility was selected to assist with the parking guidance requirements of the club’s parking facilities.

The club’s management see its carparks as key to the success of their operations and Park Agility were awarded the project due to their ability to meet the existing brief and offer solutions for the future as the club’s redevelopment moves through its multiple stages. Making parking as efficient and simple as possible ensures members can enjoy the club’s amenities without delay.

The first stage involved installing a parking guidance system (PGS) in the existing multi-deck car park. The two undercover levels have had sensors installed in each bay and use the familiar red and green lights to signal occupancy or availability. Way-finding signage and accurate bay counts ensure drivers are directed to available parking spaces quickly upon entering.

The outside top level of the carpark uses loop counting technology, which has assisted patrons greatly. “Previously our members would avoid driving to the top deck if they believed the car park was full. This left both empty bays and unhappy members so the signage that now displays how many available spaces there are on that top level help overcome that,” says Club management. “The response from members has been very positive, they love it.”

Installation of the parking guidance solution was smooth, management maintains. “We had to amend the original brief as the drawings changed, and the Park Agility team were very flexible. They also offered plenty of notice when closing particular parts of the car park for installation which meant we could advise our members accordingly.”

The accurate data provided by the SenseIQ management system is also saving the Club time. Before the PGS was installed, patrolling security guards would conduct a manual car park count to manage demand and supply of parking bays between community and member use of the car park asset. Now, with real-time reporting and, over time, historic data, the Club will be able to optimise its car parking asset and plan functions and events around this information to ensure ease of parking for members and their guests.

In the coming stages of redevelopment, Park Agility are looking forward to assisting Cabra-Vale Diggers further, providing parking guidance in additional car parks; sensor lights that can change according to use (members, community use, assisted parking etc) and time of day to ensure optimisation of what they rightly consider to be an important part of their service offering.

    Brindabella Business Park, Canberra Airport

    Brindabella Business Park, Canberra Airport

    The Brindabella Business Park is located 10 minutes from the ACT’s CBD, within the Canberra airport precinct. The Precinct provides office, meeting, retail and accommodation facilities for businesses, their clients, shoppers and travellers, as well as several thousand parking bays across multiple car parks.

    Park Agility were engaged to install a parking guidance solution at Car Parks 3, 4, 5 and 9. The solution incorporates Infrared sensor, laser and loop counting technologies as well as way finding signage, to assist customers with finding an available parking bay on what is a very large floor plate. The project implementation took place between October 2019 and January 2020.

    The undercover parking facilities now employ sensors in each individual parking bay to count occupancy and display availability using coloured indicator lighting. Using this sensor technology, accurate data is sent to way finding signage in real time, guiding drivers to available parking locations quickly. In today’s dynamic business environment, reducing the need to circle the car park searching for somewhere to park is a benefit to Brindabella’s tenants, visitors and hotel guests.

    The open-air parking facilities operate laser counting points and over a dozen multi-loop count points to supply accurate vehicle movement and bay utilisation data. For this section of the project, the Park Agility team were able to link to the car park’s existing boom gate loops and send the data back to the SenseIQ management system. This saved duplication of hardware that already existed within the facility, enabling the car park owner to reduce costs.

    Brindabella offers a range of flexible parking options for its customers, including daily, weekly and monthly parking; monthly and annual pass cards allowing multiple entry and exits throughout the day; and premium executive parking with designated bays for card holders. In addition, short stay zones and disability bays are also available. The precinct signage located outside the car park facilities displays availability prior to drivers entering the facility, providing immediate assurance they will be able to find a suitable space to leave their vehicle.

    Park Agility’s Parking Guidance Solution extends Brindabella’s real competitive advantage for efficient, available parking with the system across the entire precinct allowing for optimisation of the parking mix, improved asset yield and satisfied, loyal parking customers.

                Bankstown Sports Club

                Bankstown Sports Club

                Bankstown Sports Club is a popular, well-established club in the south west of Sydney. It is one of the largest clubs in NSW offering a vast range of facilities to its members and their guests.

                The Club enjoys high visitor numbers, and its facilities include multiple restaurants, bars, cafes, and gaming lounges. It also has a theatre catering for concerts and live shows.

                Whilst the Club has a large, 5-level car park with over 1200 parking bays, it has suffered from congestion during peak times. Park Agility were engaged by Bankstown Sports Club to install our market leading individual bay sensors and indicator lights, plus our latest wayfinding signage solution throughout this large car park with the intent to reduce circling traffic congestion and to improve their customers’ experience by making entering, parking, and exiting as efficient and easy as possible.

                The project included the installation of over 40 large internal wayfinding signs used to guide drivers with an accurate, real-time count of the number of available parking bays; and showcase parking categories such as disabled and EV designated parking spaces.

                Our wayfinding signs also feature additional dynamic messaging capabilities, allowing the Club’s marketing department to promote upcoming events and for the operations team to highlight important safety and community messages, as required. This ticker-tape style messaging capability combines with bay count and directional information to optimise the functionality of, and investment in, the car park’s wayfinding signage.

                In addition, the Club’s car park offers a reserved section for local businesses to use during office hours. To differentiate this section,orange ‘Reserved’ lights appear above each individual bay when reserved during core business hours; additionally at this time, those bays are not included in the way finding signage count. Critically however, outside of core business hours and particularly on weekends, these lights move to a green indicator and are included in the available parking bay count and increase the number of bays available for the club’s customers.

                With its community and member focus, Bankstown Sports Club has improved the experience of its visitors and additionally worked towards reduced emissions, by helping drivers to navigate their large car park more easily.

                Park Agility again at the forefront of parking “faster, smarter, greener” with their clients.

                  Devon St, Maroondah

                  Devon St, Maroondah

                  A new multi-level parking deck in Croydon, Melbourne has been constructed to provide much-needed commuter parking. Located on Devon St which is centrally located behind Croydon Main Street and adjacent to the Croydon train station and bus depot, the new amenity also features a commercial tenancy facility.

                  With three levels and approximately 400 car parking bays, Park Agility have provided loop counting technology to accurately calculate availability on each level of the facility; and display signage to provide the occupancy information for each level to drivers before they enter the car park.

                  Induction loops are cut into the roadway on each ramp to provide accurate counting of vehicle movements between levels. This passage counting is handled by Park Agility’s custom designed control boards. When cars move across the loops, the system detects their direction, enabling accurate area counting of arrivals and departures for each level. With Park Agility’s proprietary firmware, the count is highly accurate at capture of bi-directional vehicle passages, so when cars pass through a count point at the same time moving in different directions, the count remains correct.

                  In addition, three solar-powered precinct signs have been installed on busy Main St, directing drivers to the parking deck with accurate up to the minute information about parking bay availability.

                  With this new facility, Maroondah Council provides car charging points for electric vehicles; sustainable design; and a safe, accessible facility for drivers and pedestrians alike to efficiently access a local transport hub for their daily commute.

                    Constitution Place, Canberra

                    Constitution Place, Canberra

                    Constitution Place is a centrally located, 12-level precinct owned by Capital Property Group. It houses commercial offices, government departments, and the A by Adina hotel, plus dining and retail offerings, a gym, and other amenities.

                    Having worked on the parking technology requirements for the group’s Brindabella Business Park properties, Park Agility were delighted to once again work with Capital Property Group installing parking guidance and external signage for the Constitution Place precinct.

                    With over 550 parking bays across 4 basement levels, the individual bay sensors and parking guidance system has been incorporated to monitor and optimise the use of permanent, standard, and disabled bays for permit holders, hotel guests and casual users.

                    External signage notifies drivers of parking availability prior to entry into the precinct’s car park facility and internal signage serves as a guide to drivers, indicating the location of available parking bays.

                    In addition, internal signage provides safety messages for drivers at key locations. For example, the Park Agility SenseIQ management system also monitors the loading dock and common access driveway.  External signage advises incoming trucks if the loading dock is already in use or available before they commit to the laneway. Internal signage also advises drivers exiting the car park to be aware of entering trucks.

                    With Park Agility’s focus on accuracy and reliability, the parking technology installed at Constitution Place will help Capital Property Group to manage the different parking categories the precinct caters for. The SenseIQ management system offers complete configurability and control, allowing the management team to track and plan for bay occupation and vehicle transit events within the car park.
