Keep as many car bays on the north side of Claremont Station as possible for Park & Ride - perhaps underground under the new development in the NE precinct. Substantially reducing the number of bays and relocating them nearer to Showgrounds Station, where trains do no stop, will encourage those who currently park there to keep driving into the city to park, being more convenient than say walking 2km from Mt Claremont/ N. Swanbourne or waiting 20 mins for a bus (if at all available in your area) to the station.

Claremont Station holds an important status as an "all trains" stop, it is busier than any other between Perth and Fremantle, and Government policies to have less cars generally on the road need to be assessed with more realistic and effective strategies than "replace 80% of Park & Ride spaces with massive rate-paying flats". Please remember your existing ratepayers rather than calculating the financial benefit of twice as many new ones.
