Update
Following community consultation, feedback and a recommendation was presented to Council on the 20 June 2023.
The amended Local Planning Policy Non-Residential Parking and Payment in Lieu of Parking Plan can be found by clicking here.
Background
The State Government introduced changes in 2021 that aimed to create a consistent approach to applying cash-in-lieu of parking for non-residential development across the State.
New regulations were adopted that require local governments to have a Payment in Lieu of Parking Plan (Plan) in place by July 2023 that applies to any cash-in-lieu collected from development approvals. The Plan is to specify what the cash-in-lieu collected is to be used for.
Policy No. 7.7.1 – Non-Residential Parking Requirements (Parking Policy) has been reviewed to align the Policy with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 (Regulations) and the City’s Accessible City Strategy (ACS).
Project Details
Payment in Lieu of Parking Plan
The Plan governs the application of payments in lieu of providing car parking for development in the City of Vincent and outlines the purposes for which payment in lieu of car parking would be used and how money collected would be administered.
The money collected would assist in funding the action items of the ACS. The actions included in the Plan are high priority and are scheduled to be completed within the coming years.
The actions included in the Plan are:
ACS Item
Action
1.1.3
Develop and implement a consistent wayfinding and signage plan across the City. This should consider parking, cycling and pedestrian transport modes, and provide appropriate localised details for each town centre and activity and transit corridor.
3.3.1
Establish a business plan for the management of parking within Vincent with a view to the following:
Prepare precinct specific parking management plans, with priority given to precincts already at capacity.
Expand paid parking using the ‘demand responsive pricing’ methodology.
3.3.4
Better manage the supply of on street parking through the implementation of various restrictions by:
Limiting roadside residential parking, confining parking to the property.
Restricting parking to 3P or less within 2 blocks of train stations or transit nodes, with residential permit exemptions.
Restricting parking to 3P or less within 1 block of high-frequency transit corridors, with residential permit exemptions.
Restricting parking to 2P or less within 2 blocks of town centres or mixed-use areas, with residential permit exemptions.
3.5.1
Repeat parking surveys at 3-5year intervals on a rolling basis across the City. A schedule of priority areas based on the data collected has been produced, with surveys recommended to start in Leederville Town Centres and surrounding area.
4.2.1
Place plans should identify methods to improve pedestrian and cycling safety in the public realm making town centres safe and accessible to all.
As the ACS action items are completed, this Plan would be reviewed and updated to include new actions that could be funded by the money collected in lieu of parking bays.
Parking Policy
Key changes to the Parking Policy include:
Updated objectives to be more prescriptive and provide better guidance on the desired outcomes.
Clear guidance for when variations to parking requirements are considered.
Clear guidance for when a condition for payment in-lieu of parking is imposed.
Feedback
Feedback was sought during March and April until 21 April 2023, and is now closed.
