About the project

On-street parking around this part of Eden Terrace is in high demand. After surveying the area, we found that occupancy was above 94% on weekdays at peak times. This means people often can’t find a park and become frustrated.

Traffic congestion also increases as people drive around searching for a parking space, and we’ve had complaints about poor and illegal parking in the area.

Paid parking was introduced in the northern part of Eden Terrace in 2013, making it easier to find a park and providing greater flexibility in length of stay.

What we are proposing

To help manage the high demand for parking in Eden Terrace, AT is proposing paid parking restrictions to ensure parking is well-used, but that people can still easily find a space.

Our aim is to have 85% of parking spaces occupied at peak times, so roughly one in seven parking spaces would be available. This is an internationally recognised approach to managing on-street parking.

Paid parking would be $1 per hour for the first two hours, then $2 per hour after the first two hours. So for example, eight hours of parking would be $14.

Localised parking changes

  1. Stormont Place: Three parking spaces to be created by removing redundant No Stopping lines.
  2. Ace Place: Angle parking to be formalised across the street end.
  3. Minnie Street: No Stopping lines and hockey stick lines to be added to improve parking layout.
  4. Virginia Avenue East: Three parking spaces to be created by removing redundant No Stopping lines.
  5. Charlotte Street: P15 restrictions at all times. There is a childcare facility on one side of the road and apartments on the other. A 15-minute time restriction allows for pick up and drop offs and service vehicles, like food deliveries and rideshare vehicles to park when other spaces are occupied.
  6. Rendall Place: Six additional parking spaces to be created by removing redundant No Stopping lines and repainting missing lines.

Why are we proposing it

  • Paid parking without time limits helps with demand and is a flexible way to manage parking.
  • It works well in areas with high parking demand and limited parking spaces.
  • Time restrictions don’t work as people regularly overstay, and risk being issued a parking ticket.
  • We anticipate population growth in Eden Terrace in the coming years, so we need to have a flexible parking management plan in place.
  • Encourages motorists to consider other options such as public transport, carpooling, cycling or walking.

Benefits of the proposal

  • Manages parking demand and increases parking availability.
  • Tariffs can be adjusted to manage parking demand.
  • Enables parking to be shared between employees, residents, visitors and commuters.
  • No time limits, pay for what you need.
  • Reduces congestion from vehicles circling the area looking for a park.
  • The AT Park app for iPhone and Android smartphones can be used to pay for on-street parking. We will also install pay by plate machines that use your vehicle registration number.
  • Provides a 10-minute grace period to allow for pick-ups and drop offs.

Impacts of the proposal
  • Paid parking may encourage people to consider other ways of getting to their destination, increasing parking turnover and improving availability.
  • Introducing paid parking now will make it easier to respond to future changes in demand.

What we want your feedback on

Due to high parking demand, paid parking will be installed in this area. This is consistent with AT’s strategy for managing on-street parking.

Our aim is to have 85% of parking spaces occupied at peak times, so roughly one in seven parking spaces would be available. This is an internationally recognised approach to managing on-street parking.

Local knowledge gives us a better understanding of the area and your community’s parking needs, so we want your feedback to help us refine the proposal.

How you can have your say

If you’d like to provide feedback, please fill in the feedback form below. The survey will be open from 18 MARCH 2024 to 7 APRIL 2024.

What happens next

After the public feedback period closes, we’ll publish a report on the feedback received and any changes made to the proposal, on this project webpage. If you provide your contact details with your feedback, we’ll let you know when the report is complete.
