Overview of Possible Parking Issues
An area-wide review would allow
the parking demand and parking
characteristic to be quantified.
Measures to manage the parking
on-street can then be developed on a
strategic level.
Key Area 3 - Schools
The high parking demands generated
by schools should be reviewed to
determine if improvements could
be made to facilitate the shortterm
parking demands. The review
for schools should also include an
assessment of off-street parking
opportunities. Even if it is a public
school, off-street parking opportunities
should be reviewed and recommended
to State Government for action if the
measure would improve parking and
safety for schools.
A detailed review of parking for all
schools is recommended.
Key Area 4 - EDS Lockleys
Parking issues associated with
the above land use are continuing to
be experienced in the surrounding area.
Intrusion of staff parking in streets quite
remote from EDS, such as Autumn
Avenue, is increasingly occurring. While
in the past the City has taken action to
implement parking controls to manage
this issue on a street by street basis,
an area-wide review of the parking
conditions in the area around EDS
would be beneficial, given that it has
been many years since such an areawide
review was undertaken.
The findings from a major review
of this nature would allow the City
to develop parking management
measures on a strategic level.
Ashford Hospital
A detailed area-wide review
was completed in 2006 and
recommendations adopted for
implementation.
Key Area 5 – Review of
narrow streets
Parking controls on narrow streets
should be reviewed with respect
to compliance with the Australia
Road Rules and to facilitate access
to properties. Under the Road Rules,
a 3.0m wide lane must be available
for traffic access. Streets which are
generally narrower than 7.6m would not
accommodate parking on both sides.
A review of these narrow streets
should be undertaken in a structured
manner and options considered on
how to best manage the on-street
parking whilst minimising the impact
on affected land uses.
The suggested parking management
for narrow streets is as follows.
Recommendation
Instigate area-wide parking reviews for
the key areas identified in this report
to formulate parking measures on a
strategic level.
Street width Option
Consideration
< 6.0m Prohibit parking on one side Assess
- if parking is required.
- Identify the side with the least impact.
< 6.0m Prohibit parking on both sides Assess
- if accessibility is an issue.
- compliance with ARR
< 7.6m Prohibit parking on one side Assess
- Level of parking demand*.
- Effect of traffic flow. - Identify the side with the least impact.
Prohibit parking on both sides Assess:
- Effect on traffic flow, traffic volume, safety, vehicle composition.
* I f the parking demand is high, the likelihood of parking on both sides would be higher, resulting in more instances of non-compliance
with ARR. Criteria: peak occupancy >50% of street parking capacity (based on parking survey during a busy period).
