Council’s Resident Parking Scheme Policy requires a minimum of 50% support from properties in the subject section for consideration of a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS), with each property entitled to a single vote. Please note that the ‘Support rate’ is the number of votes on the subject section supporting the RPS expressed as a percentage of the total number of properties for the section and the ‘Response rate’ is the number of valid votes compared to the number of properties for the section expressed as a percentage.

Background

Several residents have expressed concerns to council about the long-term non-resident parking along the vicinity of the Dawn Fraser Baths.

In response Council has conducted parking occupancy surveys in the vicinity of Dawn Fraser Baths. The results indicated high parking occupancy levels, (above 85%) within several streets during the day.

What is being proposed?

It is proposed to introduce a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) within the vicinity of Dawn Fraser Baths, Balmain as outlined below:

  • Installation of ‘2P 8am-10pm Permit Holders Excepted Area B1’ in the below sections:
    • The Southern side of Fitzroy Avenue
    • Glassop Street between Punch and White Street
    • The Wester side of White Street between Tilba Ave and Glassop Street.
  • As part of the proposal, 10m ‘No Stopping’ zones must also be installed at all intersections (as per NSW Road Rules) if the restriction is not already existing.
