More Information

Developing a vibrant and thriving town centre is about striking a balance between ease of access, an appropriate number of parking bays, and maintaining an attractive and inviting streetscape.

Feedback from residents and visitors has indicated that some find current car parking to be difficult to access - particularly in large vehicles, for loading, and for the elderly.

The construction and maintenance of car parking bays by TRCis undertaken in accordance with the relevant Australian Standard, which identifies the minimum required design standards. Higher standards may be considered, but changes (to create wider bays, for example) could result in a reduced number of car parking bays being available.

What Next?

This poll has been undertaken to inform decision making on potential changes. As these results indicate no clear consensus, this matter will be presented to the incoming Council for consideration. TRC officers will prepare various options for Councillors to consider.
