Dear community member,
From 27 February to 24 March 2026, we consulted our community on changing the current ‘Permit Zone, 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday, 6pm to Midnight / Midnight to 8am daily’ parking restriction to Permit Zone (all times) along the east (odd-numbered) side of Henry Street, Hawthorn.
The restriction change is designed to improve resident parking opportunities during the day on Saturday and Sundays as vehicles without a valid parking permit cannot park in a Permit Zone restricted area.
We invited residents, property owners and people who are eligible for a residential parking permit to participate in this consultation. We thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposed changes.
What we asked
We asked to introduce, on the east (odd-numbered properties) side of Henry Street:
- Permit Zone (all times) restriction
Changes to parking restrictions are made if:
- we receive feedback from at least 10% of people invited to share their feedback, and
- 55% support the proposed changes.
What we heard
We received a very good response rate (83%) from eligible community members living in the street and from absent owners. Of the responses:
- 100% supported the proposed change to the parking restrictions.
What happens next?
In accordance with the Council’s Parking Management Policy 2017 and Parking Management Procedures 2017, a minimum 55% support is required to implement any proposed parking change.
With 100% support received for the change, the parking restriction signage on the east (odd-numbered properties) side of Henry Street will be altered within the next two weeks to read:
- ‘Permit Zone’ which will apply at all times.
