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 MPS permit holders to access parking close to nearby attractions and facilities such as the St Mary's Cathedral and Hyde Park, it is proposed to change the existing all day "Mobility Parking Only" restrictions in College Street to 4P Mobility Parking Only between 6am and 10pm seven days a week to increase parking turnover and improve on-street parking access for Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) permit holders visiting the area.
