Background

Kepos Lane, Redfern, between Phillip and Telopea Streets, is a narrow laneway (approximately 4.4 metres wide) that facilitates waste collection for properties fronting Kepos and Baptist Streets.

On 20 September 2018, the Committee endorsed  the following parking changes on the western side of Kepos Lane, Redfern:

(A)      Between the points 10 metres and 117.4 metres (20 car spaces) north of Phillip Street, as “No Parking 6am-10am Mon Only” and “2P 10am-6pm Mon, 8am-6pm Tue-Fri, Permit Holders Excepted Area 41”; and

(B)      Between the points 53 metres and 60.8 metres (one car space), 72.5 metres and 81.3 metres (one car space), and 93.8 metres and 105.8 metres (two car spaces) north of Zamia Street, as “No Parking 6am-10am Mon Only”.

This was to enable the City’s cleansing vehicles to safely access the laneway for waste collection.

To ensure a more efficient service for residents, the City will be changing the waste collection period from every Monday, from 6am to 10am, to every Wednesday, from 6am to 6pm. This change will come into effect as of Monday 1 July 2019.

To allow cleansing vehicles to continue to safely operate in the laneway, it is proposed to update the “No Parking” restriction to match the new waste collection period.
