About this consultation
From 27 May to 16 June 2025, we consulted our community on removing the ‘Permit Zone, 9am to 3 pm Sunday’ on-street parking restriction located along Middlesex Road and Durham Road, Surrey Hills, south of Canterbury Road.
The restriction was designed to reduce the impact of parking on Sundays associated with the Church at 1 Kent Road. With the Church no longer used, and little activity occurring by ‘Youth with a Mission’, the ‘Permit Zone’ restriction is considered unnecessary and we have proposed its removal.
We invited residents and property owners to participate in this consultation. We thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposed change.

Changes to parking restrictions are made if:
- we receive feedback from at least 10% of people invited to share their feedback, and
- 55% or more support the proposed changes.
What we heard
We received a good response rate from eligible community members living in the two streets. Of the responses:
- 81% supported removing the parking restriction.
What happens next?
