MEETING OF COUNCIL - Town of Cambridge

COUNCIL MINUTES
TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:
The Access and Parking Strategy is consistent with priority area: Planning for Our
Community of the Town's Strategic Plan. In particular, the goals for 'Transport Options'
(facilitated through aligning parking strategies to land use) and 'Attractive and Diverse
Shopping and Business Areas' (supported by the development of place-specific plans for
commercial areas).
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:
The matter has been assessed under the Community Consultation Policy. Community
consultation is not necessary at this point, however, further consideration will need to be

agenda) will be advertised in accordance with Clause 48 (3) of Town Planning Scheme No.

During the first part of the Strategy formulation a stakeholder workshop was held (advertised
