Decision details

It is resolved that:

(A)      Council approve the draft Neighbourhood On-Street Parking Policy, as shown at Attachment A to the subject report, for public exhibition, subject to the inclusion of an additional principle in Section 2:

2.4  Accessibility and inclusion

The City recognises that parking is a key component of the access system that supports economic, social and environmental outcomes and that in a city for walking, cycling and public transport, motor vehicles continue to play a vital role. Access needs vary from household to household. Not everyone can use public transport, or walk distances, meaning they may need to travel by vehicles and require space for either parking or drop off and pick up. The City will therefore consider accessibility and inclusion in its parking management.

Additions shown in bold italics

(Remaining principles to be renumbered accordingly);

(B)      Council note that the Neighbourhood On-Street Parking Policy, including any recommended changes, will be reported to Council for adoption following the exhibition period; and

(C)      authority be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to make minor editorial amendments for clarity or correction of drafting errors prior to the exhibition of the draft Neighbourhood On-Street Parking Policy.

Carried unanimously.
