About what's being proposed

We're exploring changes to on-street parking restrictions around Malvern Village, to help increase parking turnover and make it easier for customers and visitors to find a park.

Here's what's being explored for this precinct:

• Existing time-limited parking (such as 15-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour) extends to 9am to 9pm, seven days a week
• Loading Zone and Truck Zone restrictions stay the same; time-limited parking applies outside those hours
• No change to No Stopping areas
• Introducing timed restrictions on currently unrestricted parking

Also requested by local businesses

During this review, we received two requests from local businesses:

• Malvern Road (south side, between Bonview Road and Shaftesbury Road): replace 30-Minute restrictions with 2-Hour, operating 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week
• Tooronga Road (east side, between Malvern Road and the laneway): replace No Parking restrictions with 2-Hour, operating 9am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 9pm Saturday and Sunday

For example:

Current restriction	Proposed restriction
2-Hour, 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday	2-Hour, 9am to 9pm, 7 days
Loading Zone, 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday	Loading Zone stays the same 2-Hour parking applies 6pm to 9pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday*
Unrestricted	2-Hour, 9am to 9pm, 7 days*
30-Minute (Malvern Road, south side, between Bonview Road and Shaftesbury Road)	2-Hour, 9am to 9pm, 7 days
No Parking (Tooronga Road, east side, between Malvern Road and the laneway)	2-Hour, 9am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 9pm Saturday and Sunday

*Time limits for new restrictions will be matched to nearby time limits.

The changes would only apply to parking next to non-residential properties, such as shops, cafes, restaurants, offices and other businesses. For mixed-use buildings, a property is considered non-residential where the ground floor is used for a commercial purpose.

These changes are considered interim measures. A broader, area-specific parking review will occur in future and may consider different restrictions.

Recent consultation

Following an earlier, separate consultation, properties between Malvern Road and Edgar Street supported changing 1-Hour restrictions to 2-Hour, and that change has already been decided. As part of this current review, we're also proposing to extend its operating hours to 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week. Clearway restrictions on the north side will remain in place from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday.

You are also welcome to drop into an information session and chat to Council officers in person, no need to book.

Thursday 8 October 2026

Session: 4:00pm – 6:00pm

Malvern Library (downstairs meeting room), 1255 High St, Malvern VIC 3144

Parking: On-site parking at the library is very limited, with strict time limits. Free time-restricted street parking is available on High Street and nearby streets, or try the Malvern Town Hall car park (Glenferrie Road entrance) or Drysdale Street car park nearby.

Public transport: Malvern Station (Frankston, Dandenong/Pakenham and Cranbourne lines) is about a 10-minute walk, or take the Route 16 tram to High Street/Glenferrie Road.

What happens next

Feedback will inform what changes do or don't go ahead in each area. It will be considered alongside technical advice, traffic and parking data, and broader community benefit, before a further report is presented to Council later in 2026, seeking a decision on any changes.

Everyone who received a consultation letter will also be notified of the outcome by mail.
