Project details
What is included in this proposal?
In November 2023, parking occupancy surveys were undertaken in Catherine Street and Redmond Street and indicated high parking occupancy level (above 85%) during different times of the day.
It is proposed to expand and consolidate the Resident Parking Scheme in Catherine Street and Redmond Street by installing ‘2P 8am-10pm, Monday to Saturday, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1” in the following sections:
- Western side of Catherine Street between Redmond Street and The Avenue
- Eastern side of Catherine Street between Albion Street and Emily Street
- Western side of Redmond Street between Hay Street and the north end of Redmond Street
Please note that as part of the proposal, statutory ‘No Stopping’ zones must be installed at all intersections as per NSW Road Rules if the restriction is not already in place.
- A minimum of 50% support from properties in the subject section are required for consideration to implement RPS. Each property will be entitled to a single preference only -please note that multiple submissions will be counted as one.
- Eligibility for resident parking permit is as follows:
- Proof of vehicle registered at the property is required for resident parking permit application.
- One visitor parking permit will be offered per eligible property.
- Dual occupancies, multi dwelling housing and residential flat buildings, subdivisions into two or more lots and strata subdivision of residential flat buildings approved after January 2001 are not allowed to participate in a RPS as off-street parking should be provided in accordance with Council’s parking development control plan DCP.
- Parking permits are not available for boats on trailers, box trailers, caravans, buses and trucks (i.e., vehicles greater than 3 tonnes GVM).
