Providing car parking to meet the demands of all road users is one of Council’s biggest challenges. That’s why we’ve drafted a Parking Strategy to better manage Bayside’s parking resources and encourage more sustainable transport.

The draft Strategy sets out how we’ll prioritise different users’ needs at locations such as shopping precincts, the foreshore, and residential neighbourhoods.

An initial phase of community consultation was completed in March 2022 to understand community priorities and identify potential solutions. This community feedback was used to inform the development of Bayside’s draft Parking Strategy. Now, we’d like to ensure we’ve got it right.

Feedback on the draft Parking Strategy closed on 22 December 2022. Community feedback and the proposed Parking Strategy are expected to be considered at a Council Meeting in early 2023.

As our population grows, so does the number of vehicles using our roads and streets. This creates traffic and parking pressures which we know are a top concern for many residents.

Providing more parking availability is important, but it can drive even more parking demand and traffic congestion by encouraging car ownership.

Already, the demand for on-street parking often outweighs supply, particularly in shopping precincts, at the foreshore, and around schools . Simply put, there is not enough room on busy streets to provide everyone with a parking space.

But we can change how we manage parking and move around Bayside.

Historically, our cities were designed to prioritise cars. Now, we need to provide equitable access to parking for those who need it most and help make walking, cycling and the use of public transport easier.
