Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

The City's Inclusion (Disability) Action Plan 2021-2025 (IDAP) includes a series of actions to actively address barriers faced by people with disability.

One of the IDAP actions is to “continue to explore and implement strategies to increase access to on-street and off-street accessible parking and drop off points in the City of Sydney area”.

In response to feedback from the community about difficulties for Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) permit holders to access parking close to the city centre, it is proposed to change the existing all day Mobility Parking restrictions in St James Road to 4P Mobility Parking Only seven days a week to increase parking turnover and improve on-street parking access for MPS permit holders visiting the city centre.
