Feedback closed midnight Sunday 11 October 2020.

North Sydney Council is currently reviewing the existing parking restrictions in the Waverton/ Wollstonecraft Residential Parking Area 11 including Belmont Avenue, Bridge End, Carr Street, Crows Nest Road, Gas Works Road, Hazelbank Road, Ivy Lane, Ivy Street, King Lane, King Street, Mckye Street, Morton Street, Newlands Street, Rocklands Road and Shirley Road.

It is Council’s understanding that residents and their visitors are experiencing difficulties in obtaining parking close to their property due to increased demand, particularly from commuters and visitors to the area.

Since Council is unable to increase the supply of on-street parking, introducing a number of parking strategies may provide a more equitable way to manage parking and give residents and their visitors fair access to the resource. In addition, the proposal is to rationalise the parking restriction variations to simplify the time limits.

Parking demand can be reduced in two ways: with time restrictions or through cost disincentives (paid parking).

The most effective way to manage commuter parking in high demand areas and enable improved parking opportunities for residents is to: extend parking restrictions, introduce paid parking, and make these areas resident exempt. On average, streets with timed parking have 1.4 times more vacant parking spaces, and streets with metered parking have 2.4 times more vacant parking spaces than streets with unrestricted parking.

Please note however, under Council’s Resident Parking Policy there is a cost in obtaining a permit, and some residents may not be eligible for a permit.

Information on Council’s Resident Parking Permit Policy, including eligibility and fees, can be found on Council’s website https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/Transport_Parking/Resident_Visitor_Parking/Resident_Parking or contact Customer Service on 9936 8100.

Council is conducting a survey to determine whether there is support to retain existing restrictions or introduce additional metered and/or timed parking restrictions. The survey is not a voting form as such but will assist in determining support for the parking restrictions proposed for your street.
