    Why permit a reduction in Car Spaces, that results in significant off-street parking, increased congesting in the immediate area and the surrounding neighborhood.
    Are Council considering accepting, that the Developer can construct some Premises with “NO CAR PARKS” or are Council possibly permitting a relaxation in the number of car spaces related to the size of the Premises, thus allowing a more intense development on the site??
    A development of this size should require more than one (1) Visitor Car Space.

    Parking on Darebin Rd is already limited. Reduction in public parking spaces should not be approved. This will mean a loss of amenities for the general community for the gain of one developer.

    Also SEVEN dwellings seems like high density development. What is the definition of medium density development?

  3. Paul Blamire commented

    Earlier in 2019, council told anyone living in a house build after 2010 that they would not receive any parking permits for residents or visitors, on the grounds that they should be able to accommodate all vehicles on their premises. Surely then, if you build a new property, it should have adequate on-site parking? Reducing the parking requirement is clearly designed to maximize density. The combination of high–density accommodation and no parking is the worst possible outcome.
