Background

From 15 October to 31 October, we consulted our community on proposed changes to on-street parking along Edgevale Road, between Barkers Road and Stansell Street in Kew.

We invited residents and property owners to participate in this consultation. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on proposed changes.

What we asked

We asked for your feedback on the proposal to introduce '2P, 8 am - 6 pm, Monday to Friday' parking restrictions along the east (even numbered) side of the street, in place of the unrestricted parking.

Changes to parking restrictions are made if:

  • we receive feedback from at least 10% of people invited to share their feedback, and
  • a minimum 55% support the proposed changes.

What we heard

We received responses from an adequate level of eligible community members.

  • 73% supported the proposed changes
  • 27% opposed the proposed changes.

In accordance with our Parking Management Policy, we will change the parking restrictions if 55% or more of all eligible responses show support for the proposed changes.

Unrestricted parking spaces to be converted to 2P, 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday

What happens next?

In accordance with the Council’s Parking Management Policy 2017 and Parking Management Procedures 2017, 55% support is required to implement any proposed parking change.

With a majority support received (73%) to introduce the parking restrictions, we will proceed to install '2P, 8 am - 6 pm, Monday to Friday' on the east side of Edgevale

Vehicles with a valid residential parking permit will be exempted from parking restrictions in this area. To find out if you’re eligible for a permit and how to apply, visit www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/parking-streets or phone 9278 4444.

The parking restrictions will be installed in early December to allow eligible residents to apply for and receive their parking permits.
