Georges River Car Parking Strategy

This Strategy applies to all business centres in the Georges River LGA. The aim of this Strategy is to set a direction for car parking across our LGA. This will help maintain and increase economic activity within the business centres.

Some car parks aren't zoned for business, but they're part of the Strategy. The reason for this is that they serve a business centre (for example: Carwar Avenue Car Park in Carss Park).
 

The Strategy aims to

  • Understand the current parking situation.

  • Identify opportunities to improve, remove, keep and increase current parking.

  • Ensure parking meets demand and is used in the best way.

  • Encourage the use of sustainable transport and reduce cars.

  • Review the car parking requirements in Council’s Development Control Plan.

Council approved the Position Paper and the Strategy on 27 April 2020.

The key changes include making car parking requirements consistent throughout the LGA. This means similar or reduced car parking rates in strategic and other centres. 
 

Other recommendations include

  • Replace ‘disabled people’ with ‘people with a disability’. Also replace ‘disabled spaces’ with ‘accessible spaces’ throughout.

  • Look at ways to provide more public parking. Parking that is available to special user groups, including older residents.

  • Provide maps of parking areas on the Council’s website. Include them in English and other languages.

  • Create a Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan for the local area via the Georges River Transport Strategy.

  • Consider ways to encourage the community to adopt active lifestyles.
