Car Share Applications

Any new car share applications will be posted on this page. Information on past applications is available via Past Feedback Forms.

Council supports car share schemes to encourage sustainable transport. We are committed to balancing car share with the parking needs of the community and will consult residents and businesses in the vicinity of any new car share locations for feedback.

Benefits of Car Share

Car Share schemes provide a number of potential benefits to the community, not just scheme members as they can:

• reduce the level of private vehicle ownership
• reduce pressure on parking, as one car/space can cater for many residents
• reduce traffic congestion caused by drivers who are traffic ‘cruising’ as they look for parking.

Car share schemes also provide a transport option for residents and community members who don't or can't own their own car.

Timeline

The steps involved include:

1. Application - the Car Share Provider applies to Council for a new car share parking location.
2. Community Consultation - the community is provided opportunity to comment on the proposed car share location.
3. Traffic Committee - the application and outcomes from the community consultation are taken to the North Sydney Traffic Committee for consideration.
4. Installation - if approved, signage indicating the changes to parking are exhibited for at least 14 days after which car share parking signage is installed.

Approving a new car share location is guided by Council’s Car Share Policy and the New Car Share Application Engagement Strategy (available in the document library).
