About this consultation

Community members have contacted Council about difficulties parking along Fitzwilliam Street, between Malin Street and Wrixon Street in Kew.

Parking inspections during weekday business hours saw high usage of parking in the street. The demand appears to be on weekdays from people who do not live on the street. For this reason, weekday-only parking restrictions are being considered.

We now invite your feedback on the proposed introduction of parking restrictions.

The proposed changes are in line with our:

  • Parking Management Policy 2017
  • Parking Management Procedures 2017.


    • Current parking restrictions

    There are no restrictions currently along this section of Fitzwilliam Street, Kew.

    Proposed changes

    We are proposing to introduce a ‘2-hour, 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday’ parking restriction on the north (odd-numbered properties) side between Malin Street and Wrixon Street and the south (even-numbered properties) side between Park Lane and Wrixon Street. The street frontage along Kellett Reserve will not be restricted. The proposed changes will improve overall parking availability for residents and their visitors at these times.

    Vehicles with a valid residential parking permit are and will be exempt from parking restrictions in this area. To find out if you’re eligible for a permit and how to apply, visit our Residential parking permits page.

    Who can take part

    1. People who are eligible for a residential parking permit for properties along Fitzwilliam Street, between Malin Street and Wrixon Street. We will accept one response from residents in each property. If we receive more than one response for your property, we will contact you to confirm your response.
    2. Property owners who do not live in their property.
