Project details
Parking occupancy surveys were undertaken during weekday morning and afternoon commuter peaks at Victoria Street, Lilyfield. The area has indicated high parking occupancy levels (above 85%) and may benefit with the introduction of a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS).
What does this proposal include?
- It is proposed to implement RPS ‘2P 8am-10pm Permit Holders Excepted Area R1’ in the selected area shown in the plans enclosed.
- Council is also looking to convert the existing on-street parking on the eastern side of Victoria Street, Lilyfield, between No.14 Maida Street and No.7 Victoria Street, into 60-degree rear-to-kerb angle parking, with one (1) parallel-to-kerb parking space outside No.9 Victoria Street. Two options are provided in the plans enclosed. Option 1 sees the formalization of 17 spaces, and option 2 sees the formalization of 16 spaces.
- Please note that 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. Existing parking restrictions will remain in place.
How does Council determine whether RPS will be implemented?
- A minimum of 50% support from properties in the subject section are required for consideration to implement an RPS. Each property will be entitled to a single preference only – please note that multiple submissions will be counted as one.
What are the options?
The scheme has a maximum of 2 resident parking permits and 1 visitor parking permit for each eligible property. The eligibility criteria and permit allocation are shown in the table below:
| Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces at Property | Number of Eligible Permit Type | |
| Resident Parking Permit | Visitor Parking Permit | |
| 0 | 2 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 or more | 0 | 1 |
- Dual occupancies, multi dwelling housing and residential flat buildings, subdivisions into two or more lots and the strata subdivision of residential flat buildings, approved after January 2001, are NOT eligible to participate in Council’s Parking Permit Scheme.
- Multi-dwelling units with visitor parking within the premises will not be issued visitor parking permits.
- Parking permits are not available for boats (on trailers), box trailers, caravans, buses and trucks (i.e. vehicles greater than 3 tonnes GVM).
- Proof of vehicle registered at the property is required for resident parking permit application
