Consultation has concluded

Council is seeking feedback on the draft revised policy of Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) Areas 1-9. The current 2007 policy has been reviewed with Council recently conducting on-site surveys and technical assessments. The draft revised policy has been updated with only minor changes proposed.

On 7 May 2024 Council considered a report on this matter and resolved that the draft revised policy on Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) be placed on Public Exhibition, with outcomes of community consultation to be reported back to Council an the next available Council meeting.

The draft revised policy also incorporates Transport for NSW Permit Parking Guidelines for Resident Parking Schemes released in 2021.

Background

On July 4 2023, Council approved a review of the RPS that covered permit eligibility, on-street parking capacity and availability. The review aimed to align the RPS with TfNSW guidelines and address local parking needs.

From September to November 2023, on-site observations, technical assessments, and number plate surveys were conducted in RPS Areas 1-9 to evaluate parking occupancy and turnover and identify areas for improvement.

Key findings

Based on the review, and noting the limited availability of on-street parking permits and current effectiveness of the RPS, the updated Policy recommends no significant changes to the existing application of the RPS.

The minor updates to the draft revised Policy include proposed improvements including:

  • Allowing directly adjacent properties to opt into existing schemes, provided they meet eligibility criteria and there is capacity within the scheme.
  • Implementing an education campaign on parking time limits to reduce the incidents of overstaying.
  • Increasing compliance patrols to enforce parking rules as it was noted some areas had non-permit vehicles overstaying.

Data captured during the review, alongside permit update rates and maximum eligible permits as per the new Transport for NSW guidelines, has helped shape the draft revised Policy.

The review re-enforced historical data on permit uptake rates and provided further evidence that street occupancy for the majority of the RPS areas is in the higher range (with Area 4, Avenue Road, the exception).

Further, the review found that in the last 5 years Council has received a limited number of requests to establish new or extend existing RPS areas at various locations.
