EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has developed the Stirling Public Parking Proposed Implementation Strategy
(Proposed Implementation Strategy) following the collection of parking facility usage details and
statistics, at several high parking demand locations in the City. The details were obtained
through surveys conducted by a consultant in June 2011. The Consultant provided a
comprehensive report of findings and recommendations which was provided to the City in
October 2011. The report findings and recommendations plus identified increases in parking
demand at several of the surveyed locations and information from the City’s Public Parking
Management Strategy have been used to prepare the Proposed Implementation Strategy.

The Proposed Implementation Strategy includes the preparation of parking schemes for the
areas surveyed. At this time parking schemes have been prepared for most of the high parking
demand locations with the remainder requiring additional work. Several parking schemes have
identified paid parking as needed to assist with the control and management of parking facilities
in the area and to fund additional parking facilities. There are considerable costs involved with
construction of additional parking facilities.

Staged Approach for Additional Parking Required

The City like most large businesses does not have unlimited capacity to expand and fund its
operations and services. In this regard, priorities have had to be identified for the construction
of additional parking facilities and management of its Parking Service. Herdsman Business
Park has been identified as the location with the highest parking demand and in greatest need
of additional parking facilities. The Herdsman area and the streets close to Glendalough train
station are to be subject to increased parking controls and paid parking. Other high parking
demand locations have been identified as needing increased parking controls. These will have
to be staged.

Herdsman Business Park

With the Herdsman Business Park, it is recognized that there is a clear need for additional
parking and associated facilities to be provided in support of business activity in the area.
Herdsman Business Park has seen several new substantial developments being completed and
occupied bringing several thousand new employees to the area. The area has opportunity for
considerable further development with a corresponding increase in employees.

The Cost of Parking

The provision of parking facilities is a costly impost on local governments with construction of a
parking bay on street costing between $6,000 to $8,000 when there is no need to purchase the
land. Each parking bay requires approximately 35 M2and when land has to be purchased the
cost per parking bay increases substantially. eg 35 x $1,000 = $35,000 plus construction costs.

The Proposed Implementation Strategy has identified opportunities to construct additional

parking bays in the Herdsman Business Park with estimates for five car parks with 350 bays at
a cost of $2,265,000 and construction of angle parking with estimates of 250 bays at a cost of
$1,500,000 being an estimated total cost of $3,765,000 for additional parking bays. In addition,
there are set up costs for equipment with some equipment operating cost identified at
$1,707,000. This represents a cost of $5,472,000. These costs exclude GST. Further costs
are required for staffing to control the various parking schemes and to provide back office
support to achieve an acceptable level of service to the motoring public and community.

2
Funding for Parking
Having identified the need to provide additional parking facilities and better manage the existing
facilities and the costs of doing so, how these costs will be funded was an important
consideration. Parking surveys identified that the majority of parking facility users at the highest
parking demand locations, live outside the City. As the City needs to meet its costs associated
with provision of additional parking and management of all parking facilities, it is reasonable that
users contribute to those costs. Paid parking has been identified as the preferred funding
source for construction of additional parking facilities and for making considerable improvement
to existing parking.

The application of parking fees has the potential to produce an estimated annual income of
$2,222,300 (GST inclusive) from Herdsman and Glendalough. This calculation has been based
on completion and full operation of all proposed works in Herdsman at 100% occupancy and the
existing Glendalough street parking facilities at 50% occupancy.

Repayment of Advanced Funding

It has been proposed that the capital advanced to establish the City’s parking service should be
repaid over time. This will ease the burden on ratepayers, many of whom may rarely if ever,
use the additional parking facilities planned for construction. This approach will enable the City
to continue to expand its parking service, and provide additional parking facilities with minimal
contribution from rate revenue in keeping with existing adopted guiding principles. It also
means that parking should be a self funding stand alone service.

Limit and Manage Parking

There is a limit to the amount of public parking that can and will be provided in high demand
parking locations in the City before the effects of parking become detrimental to the area with
frequent traffic jams, increased trip times and inconvenience to all road users. It is therefore
most important that the parking that is provided is well managed in keeping with the capacity of
the street to effectively and safely accommodate all traffic movement.

Paid parking has been identified as an effective management tool and will provide a source of
funding to meet the additional parking facilities at this stage in the Herdsman Business Park and
other high demand locations. The preparation of this Business Plan will provide opportunity for
the public and in particular users of the City’s public parking facilities to comment on the
proposal and meet the City’s legislative obligations.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Stirling Public Parking Management Strategy prepared by ARRB Consulting Group
and delivered to the City in December 2008 included ten Key Findings and some eighteen
Recommendations aimed at developing and providing an efficient and effective parking control
and management service to the community. The Key Findings and Recommendations covered
a wide cross section of what was considered needed to address identified shortfalls in parking
service provision, additional parking bays and control and management of Stirling Parking. The
City has been progressively working through the recommendations that were provided while
also taking into consideration the key findings.

1.1 Public Parking Management Strategy - Some Key Findings

Some of the key findings arrived at by Consultants ARRB Consulting Group in preparing
the City’s Public Parking Management Strategy are detailed below:

The City cannot provide more and more parking spaces simply to appease growing
demand, however where parking is provided, the City should utilise the opportunity to at
least recover the cost of development of the parking and charge a fee for its use.

The current parking system in Stirling encourages car use. Planning ratios are generous,
parking supply is plentiful except in certain pockets and enforcement could be improved
with additional resources.

Some other effects are as follows:

• Free on-street parking encourages drivers to hunt for bays, and does not encourage
the use of off-street car parks.
• Parking in Stirling is cheaper (no charge) and is perceived as more convenient than
public transport, providing little incentive to use alternative modes of travel.
• The lack of effective enforcement resources does not discourage long term stays,
thereby reducing bays available for short term visitors to centres. Compliance with
parking regulations could be substantially improved.
• Drivers will continue to expect to find a space close to their destination.
• Drivers and developers are demanding more and more parking bays, and expecting
the City to provide these.

Several recommendations related to the introduction of paid parking where it was

considered necessary for the management of parking. Herdsman Business Park and areas
of Osborne Park were identified due to the high parking demand experienced there. Other
locations have since been identified as having a high parking demand which would benefit
from paid parking. At the time the City of Stirling Public Parking Management Strategy was
prepared it was accepted that a Stirling required a paradigm shift away from the way
parking was provided, regulated and managed.

2.0 BACKGROUND
The City has in the past taken the approach that developers would provide sufficient parking to
meet the parking demand generated by the activities of their particular development. Such
parking requirements were in keeping with the City’s Planning Scheme and development
approval processes. The opportunity has also been available for Council to provide parking
concessions and approve reduced parking requirements with developments which meet agreed
criteria.

4
More recently, the City has reviewed Planning Scheme Parking requirements downwards where
developments are in close proximity to public transport routes and where the development
includes support facilities for alternative transport modes such as cycling, shower and change
facilities for staff. This approach demonstrates strong support for use of alternative transport
modes rather than reliance on private motor vehicles.

One long term consequence of relying on developers to provide for their parking needs on-site
is that the City has a limited number of public parking facilities within its recognized Business
and Commercial precincts. The majority of public parking facilities under the City’s care control
and management are located within the road reserve as parallel and angle parking. Some
parking stations are located within wide road reserves.

2.1 Parking Surveys – How Public Parking is being used in Stirling.

The City’s Public Parking Management Strategy recommended that parking surveys be
undertaken to obtain information on how public parking within the City was being used.
Parking surveys are used to identify locations with deficiencies in parking supply, locations
with excessive parking demand and other relevant information on parking activities.

At its meeting on 23 November 2010, Council approved the carrying out of parking surveys
of high demand parking locations, to gain a better understanding of how public parking
facilities were being used. Consultants were appointed and carried out the parking surveys
in June 2011 with the final report being delivered to the City in November 2011.

The surveys sought details on:

 Car parking capacity;
 Parking occupancy of legitimate parking bays;
 Instances of parking in undesignated parking bays; and
 The origin and destination of people parking in the survey areas.

The locations surveyed were:

 Herdsman Business Park;
 Glendalough street parking; (Glendalough Rail Station)
 Bradford street near Edith Cowan University;
 Railway Parade Mt Lawley; (Mt Lawley Rail Station)
 Mt Lawley Business Precinct;
 Inglewood Business Precinct;
 Main St Business Precinct, Osborne Park; and
 Innaloo, North part of Business Precinct. (Stirling Rail Station)

2.2 General Survey Findings

The Parking Surveys provided valuable information on how the public parking facilities in
the areas surveyed were being used at the time of the surveys. The following is a summary
of the usage data relating to the surveyed areas.

2.3 Common Trends to all Areas Surveyed:

Trips originated from home or work – average of 86%.
Trips were single purpose/ single destination – average 91%
Single occupancy vehicle trips – average 88%

5
 2.4 Highest Use of Parking Facilities were:
Park 5+ times per week: Herdsman 71% Railway Pde 60%, Innaloo Nth 47%
Park 6 – 10 hrs per day: Herdsman 65% Railway Pde 50%, Innaloo Nth 77%

59% of Glendalough users did not answer the question on frequency of use and
length of stay. From observation it is expected that Glendalough has a high demand
for long term parking.

2.5 Where Parking Facility Users Live:

An overall average of 48% of all parking users are City residents. However this varies
considerably from precinct to precinct as illustrated below.

Mainly City Residents: Glendalough 85%, Innaloo Nth 80%, Main Street 52%,
Inglewood 51%

Live Outside the City: Mt Lawley 77%, Bradford Street 70%, Railway Pde, 70%,
Herdsman 67%, Inglewood 49%, Main Street 48%

An average of 52% of all parking users live outside the City. Several high parking
demand locations average 63.5%.

2.6 Trip was local: Bradford Street 100%, Herdsman 99%, Mt Lawley 98%,
Main Street 94%,Railway Pde 90%, Inglewood 90%

2.7 Highest Parking Demand Locations:

Herdsman Business Park; Innaloo Nth (Stirling Station),
Glendalough (Glendalough Station), Railway Pde, Mt Lawley

3.0 IMPACTS ON STIRLING PARKING FACILITIES

3.1 Stirling Park n Ride to elsewhere

The majority of the City’s neighbouring local governments currently charge for the use
of public parking in high parking demand locations. Stirling currently provides its
public parking without charge. This has resulted in Stirling public parking facilities
being used by commuters to other locations like Perth or Joondalup. The result is
that Stirling by default, supports the other locations by being a major ‘park n ride’
facility to some detriment of local business, and community activities.

The City considers that it is important that the public parking provided within Stirling
boundaries be used to support Stirling business, commercial, retail and general
community activities. With this in mind, the City will move to increase regulation with
increased parking time restrictions and impose parking fees

3.2 Significant increases in parking demand

There are also areas where parking demand has increased significantly without some
offsetting increase in parking supply. The Herdsman Business Park which was
identified as needing paid parking in 2009 is such an area now requiring the most
urgent attention to increase parking supply. Herdsman Business Park must also have
consistent enforcement of time restrictions and parking prohibitions to maintain
acceptable levels of compliance and safety for all road users.

6
 As with most other high parking demand areas, a parking scheme has been
developed for the Herdsman Business Park. The parking scheme includes the
application of paid parking. Parking Schemes for other areas of high parking demand
have been prepared for the streets around Glendalough Rail Station, Mt Lawley Rail
Station and Bradford Street adjacent the Edith Cowan University. Herdsman
Business Park and Glendalough will be progressed as stage 1. Stage 2 is expected
to include Mt Lawley Rail Station and Bradford Street adjacent the Edith Cowan
University, Mt Lawley Business Precinct and Main Street Business Precinct. It should
also be expected that there will be a requirement to increase the areas where paid
parking applies in the future.

3.3 Stirling Public Parking Management Implementation Strategy

The City has developed a Proposed Public Parking Management Implementation
Strategy which includes:
• A revised Parking Scheme for most high parking demand areas surveyed;
• Paid parking in several of those areas identified as needing it most to assist with
construction of new parking facilities and parking control and management of
existing parking facilities;
• Where paid parking is to be applied, the equipment and resources necessary to
provide and manage parking;
• The new parking schemes will include ample shade trees where these are
lacking, the provision of footpaths and emphasis on backing into angle parking
bays to increase user safety;
• The provision of additional parking facilities including, parking bays on-street and
new parking stations within the road reserve, where sufficient room makes this
possible. All of the proposed parking facilities will assist in meeting the existing
high parking demand;
• The proposed additional parking facilities will come at a considerable cost;
• The source of funding for the proposed additional parking facilities must be
identified;
• Taking all other costs for provision and maintenance of existing infrastructure and
services, plus new commitments previously identified and approved for funding,
the City is not in a position to fund provision of new parking facilities from rates;
and
• The City accepts that the users of its public parking facilities should contribute to
the provision of its parking service, maintenance of existing facilities and the cost
of constructing new parking facilities.

3.4 The Cost of Parking

The City’s Proposed Public Parking Implementation Strategy has identified
opportunities to construct additional parking facilities in several high parking demand
locations. The cost of providing parking bays is considerable ranging from $6,000 to
$8,000 per bay on land owned or controlled by the City. With the requirement to buy
land the cost increases significantly to approximately $35,000 for land alone. With
construction cost added to land cost (at $1,000 per M2) a parking bay today costs
close to $43,000. A summary of the costs of providing new parking facilities has
been identified and is detailed later in this plan.

7
 The following points are made in support of paid parking:
• The City has limited public parking facilities in most areas of current high parking
demand;
• The City has the aim to be a major provider of public parking facilities within its
boundaries;
• The City recognizes there is a need to substantially increase the number of
parking bays in some current high demand public parking locations;
• There are limited opportunities to increase public parking facilities without
incurring considerable costs of purchasing land and constructing parking
facilities;
• The majority of current high demand public parking facility users live outside the
City;
• The majority of Stirling ratepayers do not use public parking facilities in the
current high demand locations;
• Stirling ratepayers should not have to pay to provide and maintain “free” public
parking for the majority of public parking users who make no contribution to its
cost;
• The City will provide a limited number of public parking bays;
• The City recognises that continually increasing the number of public parking bays
encourages increased use of private motor vehicles with resultant increases in
traffic volumes, traffic jams, trip times and more.

4.0 EXPECTED EFFECT ON THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES AND SERVICES BY THE

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

The revenue from paid parking is expected to meet the cost of providing the City’s parking
service, support improvement to existing parking facilities and meet the construction costs of
additional parking facilities where paid parking applies. Consequently, there will be no negative
impact on the other services or facilities that the City provides as a result of commencing the
application of paid parking. Instead, the money generated is expected to have the positive
effect of easing parking congestion and enhancement of the areas subject to paid parking.

More specifically, by introducing paid parking to the City several prominent effects on the
provision of facilities and services are anticipated to follow:

4.1 Better distribution of public parking facilities

Control mechanisms over the timing and cost of public parking within
commercial/business and high parking demand locations in the City, will provide for
various parking demands (i.e for short, medium or long term stays) to be effectively
met at those locations. Parking Schemes will be developed with different time
restrictions and parking fees to encourage motorists to park in preferred locations
according to the time required, parking demand and availability of parking to meet the
different parking demands. As a result, those using public car parking will be more
appropriately distributed according to their needs, providing for the overall supply of
parking bays in the controlled locations to operate effectively.

4.2 Funding of future facilities

Revenue generated from paid parking will be used to fund the City’s future parking
facility needs, resulting in the development of continual improvement and
enhancement program, for parking services and infrastructure. A paid parking
system will enable programs to be delivered quickly and efficiently, as the City will be
able to provide new facilities and services from parking revenues.

8
 There will be minimal reliance on ratepayer funding with the “user pays” principle
applying with only those using the paid parking, making a contribution to its provision
and upkeep.

4.3 Provision of short-term parking

Short term parking should be applied close to high parking demand locations. The
parking demand in many of these locations will be caused by business activity. In
Stirling, many parking bays which are best suited for short term parking have, to date,
been heavily used by those requiring long term parking like employees and
commuters. Time restrictions and higher fees in such locations will encourage a high
turnover of vehicles in locations of high demand making more bays available for
business customers.

4.4 Provision of long-term parking

Sites suitable for longer term parking and located on the periphery of business
precincts, will have lower fees which will encourage their use by people who wish to
park for extended periods.

4.5 Administrative support

Introducing paid parking at the City will necessitate the establishment of a Stirling
Parking Team to administer parking facilities and manage the process. This will be
an increased cost to the City. However, revenue generated from paid parking will
cover the parking administrative and operational costs.

4.6 Planning for the future

Paid parking will provide an accurate gauge of parking facility demand through
analysis of statistical information of vehicles use of the facilities, the time vehicles are
parked, fees paid as well as the revenue received. The availability of accurate
statistical information on parking facility use will provide a positive base to address
changes in future parking demand.

5 EXPECTED EFFECT ON OTHER PERSONS PROVIDING FACILITIES AND SERVICES

IN THE DISTRICT
The past practice of requiring property owners to meet the majority of the parking demand
generated by their building activities has meant that the majority of larger buildings spread
throughout the City have large amounts of private parking. However, parking surveys and
observation suggests that there is a substantial deficiency of long term parking suitable for
employees and commuters at many locations in the City.

The tendency of motorists to park in non-fee paying areas to avoid parking fees means that free
parking providers (such as Shopping Centres and uncontrolled ground level parking) may bear
the burden of non-patron motorists parking at their facilities.

To alleviate this burden, the City has made available individual Private Property Parking
Enforcement Agreements to enable major parking facility providers to effectively control and
manage their parking facilities. This can be achieved through the enforcement of time
restrictions and allocation of “Authorised Parking” in free parking areas, aimed at non-facility
users. Private Property Enforcement Agreements have proved successful in limiting the
provided parking bays for their intended use where such agreements apply.

9
The introduction of paid parking in high parking demand locations may encourage motorists to
park in areas where there are currently no fees or parking restrictions. This may well include
residential areas. It will therefore be necessary to keep these areas under observation and may
require the introduction of relevant time restrictions, parking prohibitions or limiting parking for
residents only. The City will apply appropriate controls to enable effective management of the
areas that are adversely affected.

EXPECTED FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT

6.1 Construction of new parking facilities

The Proposed Public Parking Implementation Strategy identifies locations in the
Herdsman Business Park for the construction of five (5) new parking stations and the
formalisation of angle parking on the street verges (road reserve). The Herdsman
Business Park is recognised as the area requiring the highest priority for construction
of additional parking bays. The cost of constructing a parking bay is considerable and
a table of what is proposed is detailed below.

Table: 1 Herdsman Business Park – Proposed New Parking Facilities

Parking Stations Est.Number of Bays
Locations and Est. Bay Cost Capital Cost
Parkland Road (2) 210 bays @ $6,500 1,365,000
Hasler Road (3) 150 bays @ $6,000 900,000

Various Streets
Angle bays 250 bays @ $6,000 1,500,000
Totals 610 Bays $3,765,000

Note: Possible locations were identified for two new parking stations (approximately
70 bays) in close proximity to the Glendalough Station and to formalise the verge
angle verge parking and provide additional verge parking should this be necessary.
No provision has been made for construction of these facilities in the 2012/13 Budget.

6.2 Implementation and operating costs

Approximately 138 ticket machines are needed to cover the proposed paid parking
areas, including both on street and off street facilities. The estimated start-up capital
costs and one year machinery operational costs are as follows:

Table: 2 Set Up Costs

Capital and Operating Cost
Ticket machine purchase, supply, delivery,
installation and commissioning at $1,242,000
designated sites.
Parking signs for Ticket parking $75,000
Parking station & Directional signs $15,000
Shade Trees $55,000
Equipment Operating/maintenance costs $320,000
(one year)
Total $1,707,000

10
 These costs may vary, depending on the outcome of the tender process for the
supply of the capital equipment.

6.3 Sources of revenue

Two sources of revenue will be available to the City upon introducing paid parking.
The first being revenue generated from payment machines, the second being
infringement revenue as the paid parking system is enforced.

The two tables below show the proposed fees under the paid parking proposal and
the number of bays to which they will apply. These fees will be reviewed each year
when the City prepares its annual budget.

Table: 3 Herdsman Business Park

Est. Existing Bays on street $1.00 per hr/$5 max (all day) 949 bays
and parking station – long
term
Est. Existing Bays on street –
short term – ½ to 2 hr limit $1.50 per hr 80 bays
New Parking stations $1.00 per hr/$5 max (all day) 360 bays
Angle bays – various streets $1.00 per hr/$5 max (all day) 250 bays
Herdsman Total bays 1,639 bays

Note: Some short term parking bays up to a maximum of two hours are provided for.
The applicable hourly rate is $1.50.

Table: 4 Glendalough Rail Station – Street Parking

Existing Bays on street $1.00 per hr/$5 max (all day) 142 bays
Herdsman Total Street Bays 142 bays

Parking Scheme Maps identifying the proposed locations where the paid parking will
be imposed are provided as Attachments.

The proposed fees vary little as the majority of parking is required for long term (all
day) to meet employee and commuter parking requirements. Parking demand is
evenly distributed across the areas and there are few parking stations at this time.
Some allowance has been made for short term parking where the demand is evident.
However, there is a large amount of onsite parking which is available for customer
use. As additional parking is constructed and available for use, it is expected that the
parking schemes will be amended to suit. The highest parking fee will apply to on
street parking facilities which are highly visible and desirable for customer parking.

The percentage occupancy is based on current parking demand in the particular

areas. It is expected that the introduction of paid parking will encourage some
motorists to use alternative modes of transport. The potential annual revenue for the
City from parking ticket machines is as follows:

Table: 5 Summary of Estimated Full Year Revenue from Paid Parking at

Various Locations - On street and car parks (off street) where applicable
Location % Occupancy Est. Revenue Total Bays
Herdsman 100 2,130,700 1,639
Glendalough Street parking 50 92,300 142
Herdsman Total bays $2,223,000 1,781

11
 An estimation of revenue from infringements has not been calculated, as the main
objective of the parking schemes is to achieve compliance and not revenue from
enforcement. However, it is anticipated that revenue from infringements may be
considerably higher during the first few months of implementation as patrons become
aware that the City will be enforcing the new paid parking system.

A comprehensive marketing program will be put in place to inform motorists of the

locations where paid parking applies.

6.4 Long-term financial implications

Revenue generated from the introduction of parking fees will be applied in the first
instance to meeting the operating and capital costs of paid parking. As parking
revenue grows, surplus monies for parking operations will be allocated to parking
facility upgrades and expansion and further development of parking facilities
throughout the City where a need is identified.

The City has long term plans for the future development of Stirling City Centre and
other business centres like Herdsman. This development will need to be supported
with amongst other things an effective parking system that is effectively managed.
The City will need to acquire land on which to build multi-level parking stations. Multi-
level parking stations are a high cost item and will only be made financially feasible
with paid parking. Given the size of the City and number of centres and business
locations that are in it, it must be expected that the City will have many parking
facilities under its controls to support business and the wider community.

Paid parking will eventually grow into a sustainable City business with strategies to
effectively support parking needs for viable City business precincts.

7 EXPECTED EFFECT ON MATTERS REFERRED TO IN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT’S

PLAN PREPARED UNDER SECTION 5.56

The City’s current “Plan for the Future”, as required under section 5.56 of the Local Government
Act 1995, is the City of Stirling Strategic Plan 2009/2012.

The issue of parking is currently addressed in Goals and Objectives under Natural and Built
Environment at Goal 2: To plan, develop, enhance and maintain a quality built and natural
environment based on sustainability principles. Objective 2.3: Promote an integrated and
efficient transport and land use strategy designed to meet the current and future requirements of
the community: SI 2.3.2 Develop and Implement a Public Parking Management Strategy.

In compliance with this obligation, the City has developed and adopted a Parking Strategy that
identifies paid parking as an appropriate means of regulating the demand for parking in the
future.

Introducing paid parking will therefore be in full compliance with the obligations set in the City’s
current Strategic Plan and Parking Strategy.

12
8 THE ABILITY OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO MANAGE THE UNDERTAKING OR
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRANSACTION
The City of Stirling ordinarily administers large-scale financial undertakings in its day to day
business as a Local Government entity.

Introducing paid parking, as an additional source of revenue for the City to support the
management and provision of additional parking facilities, and development of City centres and
business locations, will be easily integrated into current parking management, provision and
enforcement services, as many of the systems already in place are relevant to this new financial
undertaking.

9 CONCLUSION
Paid parking was identified in the City of Stirling Public Parking Management Strategy which
was adopted by Council as a working document in February 2009. Following considerable
investigation and gathering of relevant facts and information, the City has prepared the Stirling
Public Parking Proposed Implementation Strategy which includes revised parking schemes at
high parking demand locations, construction of additional parking facilities where needed and
the application of paid parking. The Stirling Public Parking Proposed Implementation Strategy is
to be considered by Council. Once approved, it will include the application of paid parking at the
locations identified in that strategy.

This business plan fulfils the City’s legislative requirement in advance of Council’s final decision
on the actual implementation of paid parking.
