COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011<br />
The section <strong>of</strong> street from Creech Lane to <strong>Cambridge</strong> Street has parking restrictions indicating<br />
"2 Hour Parking 8.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday".<br />
On-street parking in this area is in high demand and requests have been received from nearby<br />
business owners for additional parking to accommodate their clients and visitors.<br />
Amending the parking restrictions in Station Street from Barrett Street to Creech Lane to "2<br />
Hour Parking 8.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday" will provide an additional four parking<br />
bays without affecting the amenity <strong>of</strong> the adjoining property and will discourage long term or all<br />
day parking by commuters or persons attending events at Subiaco Oval.<br />
The Administration advised the resident/owner <strong>of</strong> 23 Barrett Street <strong>of</strong> the proposal to amend<br />
the parking restrictions in Station Street, adjacent to the side boundary <strong>of</strong> the property by letter<br />
drop on 10 November 2011, prior to its consideration by <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
A telephone response was received from the owner on 25 November 2011 indicating that they<br />
had no objection to the proposal. In further discussion, it was suggested that a minor<br />
amendment could be made to the proposal so that the parking restrictions would read "2 Hour<br />
Parking 8.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday - Residential Permit Parking Excepted."<br />
It is considered that this proposed verge parking amendment would satisfy the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
the adjacent property owner and provide medium term parking for clients <strong>of</strong> the nearby medical<br />
suites.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
Amendments for parking restrictions as detailed in this report are in conformity with Policy No.<br />
5.2.22(i) - 'Implementation <strong>of</strong> Restrictions'.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> may make regulations for parking under the provisions <strong>of</strong> the Local Government Act<br />
1995, Schedule 9.1.<br />
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The total cost <strong>of</strong> the proposed parking amendments is estimated to be $200. This amount can<br />
be accommodated under Budget Item - 'Road Name Signs and Parking Signs'.<br />
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong>'s Strategic Plan 2009-2020 has specific outcome areas to strive for, namely:-<br />
Community<br />
- Quality service to meet identified community needs and expectations;<br />
- A safe community.<br />
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:<br />
This matter has been assessed under the <strong>Town</strong>'s Community Consultation Policy as "Inform"<br />
with the objective "to provide the community with balanced and objective information to assist<br />
them in understanding the problem, alternatives and/or solutions".<br />
The directly affected property owner/resident was advised in writing <strong>of</strong> the proposal and further<br />
consulted by telephone, prior to the submission <strong>of</strong> this report.<br />
