Have your say Central Sydney on-street parking policy
Why we’re doing this
We’re reviewing our Central Sydney on-street parking policy to make sure it continues to meet the needs of our growing city.
The policy helps us manage parking in Central Sydney and make sure important uses get priority access to kerbside space.
Demand for parking in our city will always exceed supply. Offering other transport options like walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing helps free up parking spaces for people who need to drive.
The policy aims to manage parking in a way that works for most people as we plan for more residents, workers and visitors.
The policy has not been reviewed significantly since 2015. This review considers the introduction of light rail and the metro, and the effects of the pandemic.
What we’re doing
We’re proposing minor updates to the policy to make it easier to understand and align it with our strategies and plans.
Proposed changes to the policy:
- Clarifying that the focus is on efficiently using kerb space for numerous high priority uses such as taxis.
- Minor updates to the text to strengthen the link between off-street loading provision and on-street loading zones.
- New sub-section on short-stay parking (5 to 15 minutes).
- Reducing footpath clutter from share bike schemes.
- Aligning it with our current strategies and improving its implementation, including Sustainable Sydney 2030–2050 Continuing the Vision, access strategy and action plan and Central Sydney planning strategy.
