Traffic and Parking in Alexandria

The City proposes to provide parking restrictions in Alexandria to discourage all-day employee parking and to help residents get on-street parking near their homes.  Parking restrictions are proposed in response to Alexandria residents concerns about the difficulty of getting on-street parking following the influx of commuter parking in the streets surrounding the Australian Technology Park (ATP) site.

In November 2011, the City consulted over 3,200 residents asking for feedback on traffic and parking issues in Alexandria, and support for the introduction of timed permit parking with an exemption for residents with a permit; possible angle parking; and ‘No Parking’ restrictions in laneways.

Following the consultation, City staff reviewed all received feedback and developed parking proposals for each street with strong resident support for parking changes. Each detailed parking proposal is generally inline with feedback provided during the November 2011 consultation.

The following parking proposals are available for download.

The proposed parking changes will include the introduction of timed permit parking in some sections of each street with strong resident support for parking changes. If the proposal is adopted, any vehicle which does not have a permit would be restricted to two (2) hours of parking from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday where the signs are installed.

The timed parking restrictions would apply to all visitors and tradespeople, and any resident whose vehicle is not eligible for a parking permit.

Unless indicated otherwise in the parking proposals, all remaining on-street parking in each street with strong resident support for parking changes would remain unrestricted.

Further information on the City’s Permit Parking Scheme, including permit fees and conditions of eligibility, can be viewed here.

Community Workshop

The City will hold a community workshop in March to update Alexandria residents on what the City has done since the November 2011 consultation and to discuss the proposed parking changes. The workshop will also update residents on the Peer Review of the ATP’s parking study.

The community workshop will be held:

When: Saturday 31 March from 12 – 2pm
Where: Alexandria Town Hall, 73 Garden Street, Alexandria.

Way Forward

The City commenced consultation on the first parking proposals in February in streets where residents expressed strong support for parking changes.

Please note, the City has extended the exhibition period for the first parking proposals to Friday 6 April 2012, one week after the community workshop.

Detailed parking proposals that are supported by residents will then be considered by the Local Pedestrian, Cycling and Traffic Calming Committee (LPCTCC) from May onwards before approval by the City.

Signs for approved parking proposals would be installed from June onwards.

An indicative street-by-street consultation plan is available for download.

Submissions

Submissions for each parking proposal should be directed by email or post to the nominated Council Officer.

The closing date for submissions on listed parking proposals will be provided on the consultation letter for your street.
