As part of ongoing efforts to improve parking and traffic flow in Charlestown, we will soon be implementing a new area-based approach to timed parking. This change is designed to make it easier for motorists to understand and comply with parking regulations by replacing small, individual timed parking signs with larger, simpler signs at key intersections.
The new signage is an action identified in the Charlestown Transport Management Plan adopted by Council in 2021, prepared with input from the community. The changes to timed parking were adopted by Council on 22 July 2024 following consideration by Council's Traffic Facilities Committee and further community consultation. The aim of this initiative is to streamline parking regulations with minimal changes to the actual timed parking areas.
Installation of the new signage is expected to be completed by 11 November 2024. After the installation, there will be a two-week transition period before Council Rangers begin surveillance to ensure smooth compliance.
While these changes are primarily about simplifying the parking experience, the impact on existing timed parking areas will be minimal. See the map below for more detailed information on where the new signage will apply.
Council has previously consulted with the community and local businesses regarding these changes. We'll continue to provide updates on this project through our website.
Stay tuned for more information as the project progresses.
