This Item was deferred.

Background

In March 2016, the City changed the parking restrictions on the eastern side of Greens Roads, Paddington between Oxford Street and Moore Park Road, adjacent to Victoria Barracks, from “2P 8am-2am, Permit Holders Excepted Area 15” to “4P 8am-12 midnight, Permit Holders Excepted Area 15”.

This change was in response to concerns raised by the local business community and residents that the original controls were too restrictive and should be modified to better share the available kerbside parking space.

The 4P permit parking on Greens Road was installed for a two year period. Residents have continually raised concerns that this restriction has reduced the parking availability for residents and their visitors.

On 14 May 2018, Council adopted the revised draft Neighbourhood Parking Policy 2018. During discussion on the revised draft Policy, the City was asked to review the 4P permit parking restrictions on Greens Road and reinstate the original 2P permit parking restrictions to improve parking opportunities in the area for residents and their visitors.
