The former station is at 4 Merewether Street, Newcastle NSW 2300, rather than an operating rail stop with a station car park. For drivers heading to the former platform area, the practical parking choices are nearby public streets and off-street spaces. ## Street Parking Near the Station Site Newcastle council lists hourly rates of $5.70 in 1P, 2P, 4P and 8P parking areas from Monday to Sunday (newcastle.nsw.gov.au). The letter and number on the street sign determine the applicable time category, so a short visit and a full working day can have different practical limits. Paid on-street parking around the Civic area can be paid at a parking meter or through the [EasyPark](https://www.parksy.com/blog/easypark-canada-review-pros-cons-summary-services) app (civictheatrenewcastle.com.au). Show map of Newcastle ## Commuter Parking Around Civic Commuters should allow for the station’s closure and treat parking near 4 Merewether Street as access to the former Civic site, not as a rail-station park-and-ride. A private nearby space can suit a driver who wants a reserved off-street option rather than searching for a legal kerbside bay. Parksy lists a private parking space 270 m away for $15 a day, while a secure garage 310 m away costs $17 a day and has 24/7 access. ## Parksy Spaces Close to Civic The closest priced Parksy option is a parking lot in Cooks Hill, a few steps away at 80 m, costing $5 a day. A Centenary Road car park is 170 m away at $5 a day, while a Wharf Road car park at the same distance costs $16 an hour and has 24/7 access. For a more controlled space, Parksy lists secure garage parking 310 m away for $17 a day with 24/7 access. Drivers staying longer can choose a Honeysuckle Drive car park 480 m away for $250 a month with 24/7 access. The private space 270 m away at $15 a day is suited to a commuter wanting a simple reserved alternative. ## Newcastle Rail and Transport Connections Newcastle railway station is the nearest station listed for the site, 1.2 km away, or a 15-minute walk. The former Civic stop is not an operating station because the Newcastle line was truncated to Hamilton in 2014 during construction of Newcastle Interchange (Wikipedia). Drivers using the former Civic location should therefore plan around Newcastle railway station or Newcastle Interchange rather than expecting a train departure from the site. The nearby Parksy spaces provide walkable parking choices, including a 24/7 lot 170 m away at $5 a day and a 24/7 garage 310 m away at $17 a day.
