Design element  

C3.1, C3.2, C3.3  

Relevant design principle(s)  

P3.1 Adequate car parking is to be provided on site in accordance with projected need related to:  

• the type, number and size of dwellings;  
• the availability of on-street and other off-street parking; and  
• the proximity of the proposed development to public transport and other facilities.  

P3.2 Consideration may be given to a reduction in the minimum number of on-site car parking spaces for grouped and multiple dwellings provided:  

• available street parking in the vicinity is controlled by the local government; and  
• the decision-maker is of the opinion that a sufficient equivalent number of on-street spaces are available near the development.  

P3.3 Some or all of the required car parking spaces located off site, provided that these spaces will meet the following:  

1. the off-site car parking area is sufficiently close to the development and convenient for use by residents and/or visitors;  

1. ii. any increase in the number of dwellings or possible plot ratio being matched by a corresponding increase in the aggregate number of car parking spaces;  

1. permanent legal right of access being established for all users and occupiers of dwellings for which the respective car parking space is to be provided; and  

1. where off-site car parking is shared with other uses, the total aggregate parking requirement for all such uses, as required by the R-Codes and the scheme being provided. The number of required spaces may only be reduced by up to 15 per cent where the non-residential parking occurs substantially between 9am and 5pm on weekdays.
