Consultation outcomes

The results at the conclusion of the Community Engagement received a support rate of 67% for the proposal in the Rozelle South precinct. Accordingly, it is recommended that the proposal (shown in Figure 2) for changes to the RPS operational hours to ‘2P 8pm-10pm Permit Holder Excepted’. All other specific parking zones, such as Mobility Parking, ‘No Parking’, and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions will be retained.

A summary of comments including Council response on each issue is tabled below.

Resident/Stakeholder Comments

Officer’s Response

This will further restrict residents with multiple vehicles to park in the street

The proposed changes are intended to establish a balance for the community to meet the parking needs of both residents and visitors to the area.

Enforcement is required to ensure that measures are effective

Council parking enforcement team will schedule enforcement to all areas with parking restrictions.

Extended hours would assist. Preferably convert the 2 hour parking limit to 1 hour

A 2 hour parking limit provides a better balance to residential areas for visitors. Council do not intend to exclude visitors from parking in the precinct as 1 hour stay would not be practical for visitors to some local businesses. Hence a 1P is not supported at this stage.

Why does the changes not apply to Red Lion Street?

The current proposal is to extend the RPS operational hours to 10pm, and Red Lion Street parking restriction already ends at 10pm.

Prefer the parking restriction to end at 11pm to restrict visitors to the businesses at least till 9pm before restriction ends.

Existing RPS within the LGA’s urbanised areas generally ends at 10pm to ensure consistency with other areas it is proposed that the RPS ends at 10pm.

Parking problem will improve

Noted and Council will monitor the parking conditions after the changes are implemented.

Maney Street is used as a rat run, it should be closed off at Victoria Road

This is not part of the proposal presented at this time. Council officers will investigate this separately and will provide a response when completed.
