Responses
A total of 20 responses were received, representing 59% of the residences.
Ten (10) respondents supported "No change to the current restrictions";
Four (4) supported "No Parking Road or Verge - Residential Permit Parking Excepted"; and
Six (6) supported "2 Hour Parking 8am to 5.30pm - Residential Permit Parking Excepted".
Of those that supported "No change to current restrictions", nine (9) reside to the north of
number 63 Gregory Street.
Support for "No parking road or verge" came from residences to the south of 47 Gregory
Street.
The balance of respondent residents from 49 to 63 Gregory Street supported 2 hour parking
8am to 5.30pm.
Comment
The majority support would indicate no change to the current unrestricted parking situation.
It is considered, however, that since those residents south of house number 63 Gregory
Street support parking restrictions of some manner, cognisance of their request should be
given
On this basis, it is recommended that kerbside parking restrictions indicating "2 Hour Parking
8am to 5.30pm - Residential Permit Parking Excepted" be implemented on the west side of
Gregory Street from Ruislip Street to a location level with the northern boundary of house
number 61 and on the east side of Gregory Street from Ruislip Street to the southern
boundary of house number 44.
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:
The recommended changes are in accordance with the Road Traffic Code 2000 and Policy
No. 5.2.22 "Parking Restrictions"
The Policy allows for kerbside parking restrictions to be imposed to:-
(a)
protect the residential precincts from an intrusion of businesses, commercial, medical,
recreational and commuter parking on local roads;
