Background
From 4 December 2024 to 6 January 2025, we consulted our community on proposed changes to on-street parking along Pretoria Street in Deepdene.
We invited residents and property owners to participate in this consultation. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the proposed changes.
What we asked
We asked for your feedback on the proposal to introduce 'Permit Zone 7 am-7 pm Mon-Fri' by replacing the existing '2P 7 am-7 pm Mon-Fri' on the west side of Pretoria Street. This side's existing '2P 7 am-1 pm Sat' will be retained.
Changes to parking restrictions are made if:
- we receive feedback from at least 10% of people invited to share their feedback, and
- a minimum 55% support the proposed changes.
What we heard
We received responses from a sufficient number of eligible community members.
- 83% supported the proposal
- 17% opposed the proposal.
In accordance with our Parking Management Policy, we will change the parking restrictions if 55% or more of all eligible responses show support for the proposed changes.
What happens next
With majority support received (83%) to introduce the change to parking restrictions, we will proceed to introduce 'Permit Zone 7 am-7 pm Mon-Fri' by replacing the existing '2P 7 am-7 pm Mon-Fri' on the west side of Pretoria Street. Again, this side's existing '2P 7 am-1 pm Sat' will be retained.
This changes will occur by the second week of March 2025.
