Why do we need to change the current parking controls?
The current parking controls are inconsistent, having been
changed for various reasons over many years. Some parking space controls have
not been updated to reflect changes to Sunday trading hours, for example.It has also been noted that the existing 15 minute stay spaces
are unable to be effectively enforced, which limits the turnover in these
spaces and reduces their effectiveness.
Why aren’t the time limits proposed longer?
City businesses are supported by easy transport access for short-term visitors, including short stay on-street parking. This proposal seeks to provide the most effective use of valuable kerb-side space, by utilising it for short-term parking, loading and taxis and thereby provides a parking solution for people who seek quick, convenient parking in the East End. People who want to stay longer are encouraged to use one of the 7 local off-street car parks (within a block) or park further away and then walk to the precinct.
Parking on the north side of Rundle Street that is currently ticket parking until 10pm is proposed to be changed until 6pm, effectively allowing unrestricted parking after 6pm along the length of Rundle Street and throughout the precinct. This is to encourage access for after-hours retail/dining and also provide for residential visitors.
What about parking for my employees?
The role of on-street parking within the East End precinct is to provide spaces for short-term visitors, loading and taxis which will assist in supporting vibrant businesses, rather than providing long-term parking for employees. If employees require parking during their work hours there are a number of options available, including early bird rates at one of the 7 local off-street car parks.
