Council has commenced preliminary work for undertaking a Parking Management Plan which will include a feasibility assessment for paid parking and any relation to a congestion charge. Given dependency to other strategic projects, including the Destination Management Plan (DMP) and updated Transport and Movement Strategy, this may not be complete by end of FY2025
Congestion charging and paid parking are currently being investigated as part of the Parking Management Plan. However, due to staffing resource limitations within the Traffic and Transport Team, the timeline for this plan has been impacted.
Paid parking and congestion charging were investigated as part of the Parking Management Plan and in line with the project scope and findings presented to Councillors in a series of workshops. Further refinement will await findings from the community consultation process from the Destination Management Plan.
