New parking restrictions soon<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
BOAT SHED owner Hayden<br />
Yessev has had enough of<br />
vehicles illegally parking by the<br />
Duvauchelle public boat ramp.<br />
He said he has seen some<br />
vehicles overstay<br />
the 10min parking<br />
restriction by up to 13<br />
hours.<br />
Yessev has been lobbying<br />
the city council<br />
for clearer parking signage<br />
for nearly a year.<br />
Steffan<br />
Thomas<br />
Care &<br />
Compassion<br />
We pride ourselves on the<br />
very highest level of service<br />
Over the Christmas<br />
period he saw a car overstaying<br />
the limit almost<br />
every day.<br />
This is creating issues for<br />
others wanting to access the<br />
space.<br />
The parking restriction is<br />
next to the Duvauchelle boat<br />
ramp and has the short time<br />
duration to allow marine users<br />
to efficiently access the water.<br />
Said city council transport<br />
operations manager Steffan<br />
Thomas: “The parking restriction<br />
is in place to provide opportunities<br />
for boat ramp users<br />
to load and unload equipment<br />
and passengers before parking<br />
elsewhere.”<br />
“The boat ramp is a busy<br />
facility that is subject to high<br />
demand at peak times for access<br />
and parking.”<br />
Yessev’s persistent campaigning<br />
appears to be paying off.<br />
On November 16 last year,<br />
the decision was made by the<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board to decrease the parking<br />
time limit to 5min and<br />
to design the area as a<br />
loading zone rather than<br />
a parking area. The city<br />
council approved this<br />
change and new 5min<br />
loading zone signs are<br />
soon to be installed with<br />
new road markings also<br />
put in place.<br />
A city council spokesperson<br />
said traffic operations<br />
staff had visited the site on numerous<br />
occasions to investigate<br />
the issue prior to the board’s<br />
decision.<br />
“The P5 loading zone will<br />
reinforce that it is not a place<br />
to park for extended periods<br />
of time and that users must be<br />
actively loading and unloading<br />
within the space,” Thomas<br />
said.<br />
“I suspect it’s not always the<br />
boat owner parking there, but<br />
their mate who is new to the<br />
area who doesn’t see the sign.<br />
Hopefully, the new signage<br />
and clearer road markings will<br />
make it more obvious,” Yessev<br />
said.<br />
SOLUTION: The 10min parking restriction will soon be changed to<br />
a P5 loading zone. Inset: The boat ramp is a popular parking area.<br />
Wishing you all a Happy New Year<br />
and the very best for <strong>20</strong>21<br />
