Street Parking Around the Arden Station Precinct
Arden Station sits in the North Melbourne street network around Laurens Street, where the station project includes nearby cycling lanes and substantial bicycle parking (bigbuild.vic.gov.au). Those facilities form part of the approach to the station, so a parked vehicle should not obstruct separated lanes, access points or bicycle parking areas.
Arden Gardens has a separate car park with entry via Macaulay Road, operated by Ace Parking (aceparking.com.au). This gives drivers a named nearby parking facility and a distinct access street, rather than treating the station frontage as a general-purpose car park.
