Recommendation

It is recommended that the Forum review the reallocation of parking on the eastern side of Crown Street, Surry Hills between the points 57.2 metres and 65 metres south of Devonshire Street as “4P Mobility Parking Only 8am-10pm”.

Advice

The Forum raised no issues with this Item.

Background

A business owner of Crown Street has requested a timed mobility parking space in Crown Street, Surry Hills. The business owner has advised the medical centre's patients who hold a Mobility Parking Permit, would benefit from having a mobility parking space available outside the centre, to assist with the availability of parking closer to the centre.

Our 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”.

The changes would increase parking turnover and improve on-street parking access for Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) permit holders visiting the area.

The City will investigate installing ramps at this site should the proposal be endorsed.
