Parking management measures
The new standards include the requirements for developers to manage parking within new developments and mitigate any adverse impacts on surrounding areas.
More information
Developers will be expected to fund and implement mitigation measures where their development is likely to cause overspill parking, congestion or safety risks. Developers are encouraged to consider shared parking opportunities within their developments and with nearby sites and facilities to ensure efficient use of available parking space.
Developments proposing reduced parking such as those within the Town Centre zone and those within 800m of train stations will be required to use Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) to manage on street parking pressure, improve safety and access and reduce congestion. CPZs are designated areas where parking is restricted to prevent overspill parking, make the best use of existing parking and improve access, safety and traffic flow.
Developers would be expected to assess, mitigate and manage their own development’s impacts setting out how parking will be controlled and monitored in the long term.
The proposal for parking management measures is outlined on pages 25-28, section 6 of the Draft Parking Standards for New Developments (PDF 1.10MB).
