COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 28 AUGUST 2012<br />
Responses<br />
From the 38 properties surveyed, there were 18 responses representing 47% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
residences.<br />
Of these:-<br />
One (1) supported - "no change to the current restrictions";<br />
Seven (7) supported - "no parking road or verge - residential permit parking<br />
excepted";<br />
and<br />
Comment<br />
Seven (7) supported - "2 hour parking - residential permit parking excepted";<br />
Three (3) supported both proposals (Q2 and Q3).<br />
The results <strong>of</strong> the survey indicate that the majority <strong>of</strong> respondents preferred a time restricted<br />
parking situation and the residents in the sections from house number 3 to number 17<br />
preferred a total ban on non-residential vehicle parking.<br />
It is considered that a total ban on parking by non-residential vehicles will not be supported<br />
by those residents who did not respond to the survey, as this action could be interpreted as<br />
support for the current parking restrictions which allows for unrestricted parking at most<br />
weekday times.<br />
It is therefore recommended that parking restrictions indicating "2 Hour Parking - Residential<br />
Permit Parking Excepted" be implemented in the section <strong>of</strong> Daglish Street, north <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Cambridge</strong> Street between Kidson Lane/Levitt Lane and Ruislip Street. This will have the<br />
effect <strong>of</strong> deterring all day commuter parking and parking by motorists attending functions at<br />
Subiaco Oval while maintaining the amenity for residents and their visitors. This proposal<br />
has been supported by the <strong>Town</strong>'s Ranger Services.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The recommended changes are in accordance with the Road Traffic Code 2000 and Policy<br />
No. 5.2.22 "Parking Restrictions"<br />
The Policy allows for kerbside parking restrictions to be imposed to:-<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
protect the residential precincts from an intrusion <strong>of</strong> businesses, commercial, medical,<br />
recreational and commuter parking on local roads;<br />
introduce a "No Parking Road or Verge Residential Parking Permit Exempt" in local<br />
residential precincts adjacent to residential properties.<br />
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The estimated cost for the erection <strong>of</strong> signage is $800. This amount can be accommodated<br />
under Budget Item - "Road Name Signs and Parking Signs"<br />
