City of Port Phillip Parking Plan Towards 2010

Program Summary

In response to demand for change, the City of Port Phillip initiated and facilitated a Parking Summit in February 2000, bringing together community representatives, Councillors, staff and international experts to focus on the issues and provide intellectual inspiration for addressing the growing problem of parking. Four key themes emerged to provide a focus for further consultation following preparation of a discussion paper:

Urban development
Parking management, including permits and enforcement
Community participation and involvement
Alternative transport modes and travel demand management

Consultation through a variety of mechanisms occurred through the middle of 2000, including ‘think tents’, public forums, market research, questionnaires, area specific workshops and meetings with traders and approaches to the multicultural community.

The result of this consultation was the Port Phillip Parking Plan Towards 2010.
