Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.

Background

On 21 June 2017, the Committee endorsed the following reallocation of parking:

(A)      On the western side of Palmer Street, Darlinghurst between the points 4.1 metres and 10 metres (one car space) north of Kells Lane as "1P Ticket 8am-10pm Mon-Sat Permit Holders Excepted Area 21"; and

(B)      On the western side of Palmer Street, Darlinghurst between the points 10 metres and 21.6 metres (two car spaces) north of Kells Lane as "Loading Zone 9am-3pm Mon-Fri" and "1P Ticket 3pm-10pm Mon-Fri 8am-10pm Sat Permit Holders Excepted Area 21".

The installation of footpath widening and kerb extensions along the western side of Palmer Street in May 2018 has reduced the length of the loading zone by approximately 3.2 metres. The Eternity Playhouse has informed the City that due to the reduced length of the loading zone, its current location is impractical as delivery vehicles are unable to access the loading zone safely when a vehicle is parked in the ticket parking space.

As such, the Eternity Playhouse has requested consideration to swap the location of the Loading Zone and the Ticket Permit parking spaces to allow delivery vehicles to enter and exit the Loading Zone safely.
