Neighbourhood parking is all of the parking located on the street (also referred to as kerbside parking) within a neighbourhood or precinct.

We want to make sure that we’re managing on-street parking in the best way to optimise its use and productivity. This means every on-street space is being used efficiently, turnover is optimised and demand for that space is managed to make it available for those who need access to it.

We’re working with the community to review parking by neighbourhood because we understand that each neighbourhood has a different mix of parking users and parking needs. Getting the balance right needs a considered, local approach.

We’ll undertake a parking review in each neighbourhood using data on parking and community feedback, while aligning with greening works and infrastructure developments.

Data-driven evidence helps us to set a baseline and understand the current needs in each neighbourhood. We’ll engage with the community to discuss our data and how we can find the right balance for local parking. Then, we’ll propose an updated allocation of on-street space and parking controls that will help meet local needs.

Parking controls will provide inclusive access to on-street space based on the agreed hierarchy of use in policy 6.1 of the Parking and Kerbside Management Plan.

After receiving initial feedback from the community through a neighbourhood parking review, we will provide information about proposed changes, so the community can once again have their say. Following this, we will schedule works to make those changes. That schedule will be informed by other scheduled works and activities happening in the neighbourhood.

Our data and your feedback will tell us if the changes to parking conditions have helped get the balance right in your neighbourhood.

These changes won't be 'set and forget' - we know that it can take several months for parking behaviours to adapt, so we'll give the community time to adjust and we will review the performance of the new conditions each year and fine-tune them where necessary. Through this process, parking conditions may evolve over several years.

You can complete our survey at Neighbourhood Parking Reviews at any time. Feedback received through this survey will be included in the next scheduled review of parking in your neighbourhood.

These neighbourhood parking reviews will be an ongoing process to strategically manage our on-street parking as the city continues to grow and change.

We’re taking the time to listen to the community, share proposed changes, and deliver the on-street improvements. Because of this, each neighbourhood’s parking review will happen at a different time.

The process of local parking review and improvement delivery will continue as we make our way through all municipal neighbourhoods.

These changes won't be 'set and forget' - we know that it can take several months for parking behaviours to adapt, so we'll give the community time to adjust and we will review the performance of the new conditions each year and fine-tune them where necessary. Through this process, parking conditions may evolve over several years.
