What is a parking strategy?
A parking strategies inform the development of parking infrastructure and provide a basis for parking permit schemes.
How are parking strategies developed?
Parking strategies are developed for predetermined areas. The first step is to collect data. The data comprises of local knowledge. This is where feedback from the local community is crucial to help us understand what the issues are and what the possible solutions may be. We also need statistical information which is collected though onsite parking surveys. The onsite surveys capture the numbers of cars parked at a specified location at specific times and the frequency of movement.
The information from community feedback and onsite surveys is analysed and a draft strategy is developed to help manage local parking issues.
Once adopted the draft strategy is implemented. This may include new local resident parking.
What is a parking hierarchy?
Parking hierarchy is a set of guidelines intended to guide Council to make decisions about the design of on-street parking restrictions and the use of kerb-side space. In the various land-use categories, the guidelines identify which user groups the Council should cater for first or as a higher priority.
