Introduction
Parking management is about making
efficient use of parking resources.
Parking resources include on-street
parking (utilising the road network)
and off-street parking.
Parking demand is generated by a variety
of land uses such as commercial and
retail lands uses, schools, recreational
and residential land uses. Each of these
land uses have their own distinctive
parking characteristics, whether by time
of day or day of the week.
The City of West Torrens is located in
an urban area with a varied mix of land
uses and increasingly higher urban
residential densities. The road network
is generally fixed by site constraints
such as road reserve widths. As a
consequence, the amount of kerbside
parking is limited.
The regeneration of many areas
within the City and increasing new
developments have resulted in
increasing parking demand, that, if
not met by off-street parking, would
overflow onto the on-street parking in
the road network.
This is one of the primary parking
issues faced by the City.
‘ The regeneration of many
areas within the city, and
increasing new developments,
have resulted in increasing
parking demand.’
