Proposed car share parking spot in your area

During September and October local community members were invited to provide feedback on a proposal to install a car share parking space in your local area.

The proposal followed an application from a car share operator (received in line with the city's Car Share Policy). Before making a decision Council sought to understand what community members thought while also assessing the application.

What is car share?

Car share is a service that provides personal or business access to a fleet of cars parked on or off-street for members. Car share is a great alternative to personal car ownership. Vehicles can be rented by the hour or day. Well-developed car share networks can reduce parking demand in the local area, reduce car dependency and encourage walking, cycling and public transport use.

Council supports expanding the local car share network and welcomes suitable applications from eligible operators. Operators are required to demonstrate demand for car share services in the area, as part of their application.

Consultation closed on Monday 10 October 2022 after which all feedback will be considered to inform a decision.
