About this consultation

This consultation asked people to consider ways to improve the availability of on-street parking for residents and their visitors by introducing:

  • ‘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.

The proposed changes were in response to 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.

After receiving this feedback, 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.

The parking 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 were invited to have your say on the proposed changes
