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 west (even-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 for views about introducing the following change on the west (even-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 good response rate (44%) from eligible community members living in the street. 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 west (even-numbered properties) side of Henry Street will be altered within the next two weeks to read:
- ‘Permit Zone’ (all times).
We will also email those who clicked the “Follow” button on the consultation page. For more information, please contact me on 9278 4055.
