Construction on a new 83-bay car park started in February 2020. The new car park was needed because 180 bays were permanently removed from Bayswater station in late-2020 due to the construction of the new Bayswater station. Since Ashfield station is in fare zone two, and Bayswater station is in fare zone one, catching the train into the city is more expensive from Ashfield. In order to offset the additional cost for passengers going to Ashfield station instead of Bayswater, the parking at Ashfield station was free during the construction of the new Bayswater station. All other stations on the Transperth network have a $2 per day parking fee.[2][3] The new carpark opened in October 2020.[4]
