CONSTRUCTION of a new light vehicle and caravan parking area at Adaminaby’s Baker Street Playground, off the Snowy Mountains Highway, starts next week.

The second stage in Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Adaminaby long vehicle and truck parking project, the upgraded carpark will join a new heavy vehicle parking to the west of Denison Street that broke ground in February 2025.

"Together these works represent a major investment in local road safety and a boost to Adaminaby’s visitor economy, through the significant expansion and improvement of highway parking facilities adjacent to the town’s CBD," a council spokesperson said.

Residents and motorists are advised that the existing gravel parking area next to the Baker Street Playground will remain closed to the public until work is complete towards the end of July 2025.

The Adaminaby parking project has been made possible through a bushfire local economic recovery fund grant, co-funded by the NSW Government and the Federal Government.
