Resident letter
What is this consultation about?
We want your feedback on a proposed changes to on-street parking in parts of Hearn Street, Emily Street and Macquarie Street, Leichhardt as shown on the attached plan.
Why are we proposing these changes?
Council has received requests from residents to look at parking in these streets. We collected parking data in 2026 and the results showed that parking is often very full, especially during busy commuter times.
What are we proposing?
Council is proposing to introduce a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS) in parts of Hearn Street, Emily Street and Macquarie Street as shown on the attached plan. This would mean installing signs that say:
- ‘2P 8am–6pm, Monday to Friday, Permit Holders Excepted, Area L1’
Other sections of the above streets are proposed to remain unrestricted to help balance the broader parking needs of the community, such as residents, visitors, and commercial properties who may be ineligible for parking permits.
