How can I provide feedback?
A 28-day consultation period to submit feedback in relation to the current parking controls within your street will commence on Monday 14 October until Monday 11 November 2019.
What parking controls will be changing?
We will begin to reinstate the unrestricted and 10P parking areas surrounding the Park Lands (approximately 340 parking spaces as shown on this map) as a priority, starting from 27 September 2019. This will take approximately 2 weeks.
Will parking change on my street?
Following the consultation period, we will give due consideration to all feedback submitted during the 28 days.
Should feedback request parking changes within a specific street, it will be individually assessed to ensure a practical balance between time-limited and unrestricted parking, and to address the overarching parking requirements of the community. Localised consultation may be undertaken to confirm community support should conflicting views to on-street parking be received.
How do I provide feedback to retain or change the parking controls in my street?
Feedback can be submitted via our Your Say Adelaide website.
The Your Say Adelaide site also provides further details regarding the North Adelaide parking, and how you can register to provide feedback and how to subscribe to receive updates about this project via email.
How has the decision to end the Trial Parking Permits been made?

You can read the full motion here.
What is a ‘Motion on Notice’?
A Motion on Notice is a request made by a Councillor for an issue to be discussed at a Council Meeting and for a decision to be made.
Can I still use my Trial Permit?
The 12-month Trial Parking Permits which have already been issued will continue to be valid until 30 June, 2020; however, they will not be renewed after this date and no further Trial Parking Permits will be issued.
Why are parking controls changing in North Adelaide?
The development of a North Adelaide Local Area Traffic and Parking Management Plan was approved by Council in 2016. In response, a full review of the residential parking permit system was undertaken, aimed at increasing the availability of street parking for all residents and businesses.
The two most recurring and prevalent concerns raised during consultation were the volume of CBD commuters occupying unrestricted parking areas in North Adelaide and resident parking permit availability. We aim to address these concerns by implementing changes to parking controls and permits.
On 5 March 2019, Council endorsed the installation of time limit parking controls across North Adelaide and a trial of relaxing current Residential Parking Permit Scheme criteria, in addition to a residential parking permit trial.
What is the difference between the Residential Parking Permit Scheme and a Trial Residential Parking Permit?
The existing residential parking permit system is referred to in this project as the Residential Parking Permit Scheme. The scheme has five permit categories and is available to eligible City and North Adelaide residents.
Residential Parking Scheme Permit holders are permitted to park in timed and ticketed zones of more than one hour within a designated area and are permitted to park in Residential Permit Zones.
The Residential Parking Permit decal is blue in colour.

An additional permit will be available to eligible North Adelaide residents from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 and is referred to in this project as the Trial Residential Parking Permit.
Trial Residential Parking Permit holders are permitted to park in timed and ticketed zones of more than one hour within a designated area of North Adelaide and are not permitted to park in Residential Permit Zones.
The Trial Residential Parking Permit decal is maroon in colour.

Where does a Trial Residential Parking Permit allow me to park?
The Trial Residential Parking Permit will allow residents to park in:
Please be aware that vehicles with a trial permit will not be permitted to park in signed Residential Permit Zones.
The vehicle must be moved every 24 hours.

How has the decision for parking control changes been made?
The key objective of the North Adelaide Parking Review is to provide a greater balance of on-street parking availability for the local community. To achieve this, approximately half of unrestricted parking spaces are being converted into timed parking and will be altered to create consistent controls and times limits to avoid confusion.
Due to the complexities and varying demands for parking, each street has been individually assessed to ensure each parking alteration accommodates the overarching needs within of the community. The locations attracting a higher rate of conversion to time limit parking include:
On-street parking is a shared community asset for which demand regularly exceeds supply. While we cannot accommodate everyone’s individual needs, the parking restrictions are managed to ensure a wide range of competing users have fair and reasonable access. To achieve this, parking is often time limited to support vehicle turnover and the equitable sharing of available on-street parking spaces.
Which parking controls are changing?
The installation of time limit parking controls in currently unpaid ten-hour parking (10P) bays and in approximately half of the unrestricted parking areas will be rolled out from July 2019. Ten-hour ticket parking bays such as those along Frome Road and War Memorial Drive will not be affected by these changes.
Each street will be individually assessed to ensure the parking alterations provide the best balance between time limit and unrestricted parking and address the overarching needs of the community.
What is a Residential Permit Zone?
Residential Permit Zones have a red sign with the words “Permit Zone”. The Residential Permit Zone may apply at all times or at other times to parking controls stated on the sign.
Click here to view examples of signage showing where Trial Residential Parking Permit holders are NOT PERMITTED to park when Permit Zone in operation.
How do I stay informed about the parking control changes?
The most current information will be available on these web pages so please check back here regularly for updates.
You can also sign up to receive project updates directly to your inbox by subscribing via the link on the project home page.
Why can’t I park in a Residential Permit Zone if I have a Trial Permit?
The Trial Residential Parking Permit has been introduced to assist residents impacted by changes to ten-hour (10P) and unrestricted parking. The existing Residential Parking Permit Scheme and the use of associated Residents Parking Permit zones remain unchanged.
As such, Trial Permits will not be valid within Residential Permit zones to protect the integrity of the existing scheme, however they will be valid in all 1P or more zones.
Am I eligible to apply for a Trial Residential Parking Permit?
If you are a resident of North Adelaide and have up to one off-street parking space, you may be eligible to apply for a trial permit.
Please refer to the eligibility and conditions prior to applying.
Why is there a sign/pole in front of my house?
The placement and number of parking signs required is largely dictated by legislation and the length of the parking area. Where possible Council have attempted to make use of existing infrastructure to minimise the installation of poles, but this is not always possible.
Can I apply for a Trial Permit if I already have a Residential Parking Scheme Permit?
The Trial Residential Parking Permit is in addition to any existing residential parking permit that the property already has access to.
The trial permit will run concurrently with the existing Residential Parking Permit Scheme from 1 July 2019 to 30 July 2020.

Which type of vehicle may be eligible for a Trial Residential Parking Permit?
To be eligible for a Trial Residential Parking Permit a vehicle may be a passenger vehicle, or a vehicle designed with the main purpose of carrying passengers (including vehicles commonly known as sedans, station wagons and 4WD vehicles).
Council recognises some residents operate a business from home and therefore will consider permits for dual purpose commercial vehicles (utes and vans).
No mini-bus, bus, caravan, campervan truck or heavy vehicle will be issued with a Trial Permit.
Is there a cost for a Trial Residential Parking Permit?
A permit fee of $100.00 plus an application fee of $32.00 applies for a Trial Residential Parking Permit. Successful applicants will be provided with an invoice for payment once their application has been processed.
No discounts are available on this fee.
How have the changes been communicated?
The most up-to-date information on this project can be found via the City of Adelaide website and Your Say Adelaide, including an interactive map of parking control changes. Updates will also be sent out via email to project subscribers through Your Say.
