What are the proposed changes?

In response to high parking demand, Council is proposing to introduce full time ‘No Parking – Resident Permit Excepted’ restrictions on the below streets:

  • The full length of Thorpe Street.
  • The full length of Basil Street.
  • On the north-side of Woods Street between Blenheim Road and Grieves Street and,
  • On the south-side of Woods Street between Blenheim Road and 197 Woods Street

With the exception of multi-unit developments, residents are eligible for a Resident Parking Permit, including a Visitor Permit, which allows parking in 'No Parking' restricted streets. Please note, such permits are not issued to vehicles in excess of 4.5 tonnes gross weight or trucks, trailers, caravans or motorcycles.

These proposed parking restrictions are the same as those already in place on Blenheim Road between Woods Street and Rosshire Road.

How will my feedback inform the project?

Council will proceed with the parking restrictions only if the majority of feedback received supports this proposal. Please take the time to review the plan and submit your feedback by 27 March 2026.
