Parking strategy
Council is preparing a parking strategy that will consider all elements of parking in both the private and public domains, with a view to managing parking holistically for maximum community benefit. As is the case for all of Council’s plans and policies, the strategy will integrate contemporary good practice and the views of the community. It will support the aims of other relevant Council policies, including the Community Strategic Plan and Integrated Transport Strategy, to enhance liveability, promote sustainability, activate the public domain and prioritise walking, cycling and use of public transport over private motor vehicles.

- maximise the parking space already in place and deliver new appropriate space; and
- manage changing parking needs over time.
