Drive

There are two entrances to Tonsley by car, Tonsley Boulevard via South Road on the east and Alawoona Avenue via Marion Road on the west.

Public car parking is limited at Tonsley, we encourage visitors to the site use alternate modes of transport where possible.

P4 temporary car park next to the train line is restricted parking exclusively for Tonsley Innovation District businesses and tenants only which is necessary to support the District’s ongoing growth and development.

A commuter car park on the western side of the Tonsley train line (see map below), accessed via Woodland Road offers a limited number of off-street parking spaces as part of the Alawoona Streetscape and Wetland Reserve Project completed by the City of Marion.

In the future a paid public multi-deck car park is planned at the northern end of the Tonsley precinct to cater for anticipated future demand.

Cycle

Cyclists have dedicated off-road lanes and shared paths within ring roads at Tonsley.

Secure bicycle storage and repair stations are located in the MAB as well as showers and changing rooms for MAB tenants.
