About this consultation

Council has received feedback from community members about parking along Edgevale Road and Wellington Street, Kew, particularly near Arthur's Milkbar during its trading hours on both weekdays and weekends.

In response, Council staff conducted parking surveys between May and August 2025 across weekdays and weekends. The results indicated overall parking occupancy exceeded 75% on several occasions. This level of demand meets the threshold in Council’s Parking Management Policy and Procedures 2017 for considering further parking restrictions.

To improve the availability of on-street parking for residents and their visitors, Council is proposing to introduce:

  • ‘Permit Zone’ restrictions on one side of the street for people with residential parking permits, and
  • ‘2-hour’ parking restrictions on the other side to provide short-term parking opportunities.

These changes are in line with both our:

  • Parking Management Policy 2017
  • Parking Management Procedures 2017.

    • If you are eligible for a residential parking permit, you are invited to have your say on the proposed changes

    Your vote will influence changes for the section your property fronts onto. It will not influence changes in the other sections. Select the hotspot in the map below to see what's proposed for the section in front of your property or read the details below the map. Vehicles with a valid residential parking permit are and will be exempt from parking restrictions in this area excluding ¼P sections.

    Proposed changes in 4 sections

    Proposed 'Permit Zone' areas are red. '2-hour' parking is green. '1/4-hour' parking is yellow.
