CR12.115 KERBSIDE PARKING AMENDMENTS - DAGLISH STREET
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
To review kerbside parking restrictions in Daglish Street between Kidson Lane/Levitt Lane
(Cambridge Street end) and Ruislip Street recognising the results of the resident's survey
conducted in July 2012.
BACKGROUND:
In December 2008, following community consultation, Council resolved to introduce parking
restrictions in Daglish Street, north of Cambridge Street, between Kidson Lane/Levitt Lane
and Ruislip Street indicating:-
"No Parking Road or Verge, 6pm - 11pm Monday to Friday, 11am -11pm Saturday, Sunday
and Public Holidays - Residential Permit Parking Excepted".
This was implemented to control parking from non residents attending football and other
events at Subiaco Oval. Parking during weekday hours remained unrestricted. Requests
have recently been received from residents for the Town to review this situation in view of
the large number of non-resident owned vehicles being parked for extended periods during
weekdays, thereby restricting the availability of on-street parking for residents and their
visitors.
DETAILS:
All properties (38 residences) in the section of Daglish Street between Kidson Lane/Levitt
Lane and Ruislip Street had letters delivered with reply paid envelopes enclosed, on 25 July
2012 advising of parking issues, current parking restrictions and a request that an enclosed
survey form be returned by Wednesday, 8 August 2012. The questions presented in the
survey were:-
Q1. Do you support "No change to current parking restrictions"
Q2. Do you support "No Parking Road or Verge - Residential
Permit Parking Excepted"
Q3. Do you support "2 Hour Parking 8.00am to 5.30pm
- Residential Permit Parking Excepted"
Q4. Any other Comments or Suggestions.
A copy of the letter and survey form is attached to this report.
Yes
No
