Discussion Customer Experience is defined as how customers perceive their interactions with the Town of Claremont. An interaction is when we and our customers have a two-way exchange. When customers navigate our web site, phone in, visit the office, talk to any one of us, use any or our services or receive a response to their emails. That is when they are making judgments about whether or not we meet their needs, are easy to do business with and are enjoyable to do business with. Our Customer Experience Charter sets out our commitment to provide our customers, with the service that they can expect. The document sets out our service level agreements and includes how the Town handles complaints. The intent of the Charter is to fully communicate all aspects of what customer service means to the Town, our employees and our customers. The charter is a written policy that communicates the Town’s commitment to doing business with others. It incorporates the purpose, scope and standards of your business’s commitment to customer service so that both our employees and customers know what to expect.

13.2.1 PARKING LOCAL LAW 2016

File Ref: LAW/00279 Attachments: Town of Claremont (amended) Parking Local Law

2016 Responsible Officer: Les Crichton

Executive Manager Corporate and Governance Author: Brian Kavanagh

Manager Statutory Services Proposed Meeting Date: 16 August 2016

Purpose Council to endorse and adopt the amended Town of Claremont’s Parking Local Law 2016.

Background At the 17 May 2016 Ordinary Council Meeting, Council resolved to adopt the Town of Claremont Parking Local Laws 2016 (PLL), the purpose and effect of which are:

1. Purpose: To regulate parking of vehicles within the Town of Claremont and provide for management and operation of parking facilities under the control of the Town. This repeals Parking Local Law 2012.

2. Effect: A person parking a vehicle within the Town is to comply with the

provisions of this Local Law. As required by the Local Government Act 1995 (Act), a copy of the adopted PLL was sent to the Department of Local Government and Communities (DLGC).

Discussion The DLGC has now responded to the Town and requested a portion of Clause 7.15 be removed from the PLL. Clause 7.15 refers to Stopping in a parking stall for people with disabilities. On further discussion, the Town’ solicitors recommended the Town remove all of clause 7.15 as the provisions under the Local Government (Parking for People with Disabilities) Regulations 2014 (Reg. 2014) enable the Town to enforce the requirements. Reg. 14 establishes a penalty of $2000 and a modified penalty of $300 for parking unlawfully in a permit parking area. The local law is currently drafted with a maximum fine of $5000 and a modified penalty of $300. These penalties are inconsistent with those established by the Regulations and the Town is unable to establish an unmodified penalty of $2000 and a modified penalty of $300 under the local law as the Act only permits modified penalties which are no more than 10% of the unmodified penalty. Removal of the clause removes the inconsistency and enables the Town to enforce the Regulations directly rather than attempt to mirror them in the local law.


Page 5

Reg. 2014 was introduced in October 2014 following review and repeal of the Local Government (Parking for Disabled Persons) Regulations 1988. Other minor amendments to the PLL have been to correct formatting and spelling anomalies. The Town’s current signage is compliant with Reg.2014. Following Council’s endorsement of the amended PLL, it will be gazetted and implemented.

13.2.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF PRECINCT PARKING ZONES

File Ref: LAW/00089 Attachments: Precinct Parking Map

Luxmoore Parking and Safety North East Precinct Parking Plan Proposed Parking Permit Policy

Responsible Officer: Les Crichton Executive Manager Corporate and Governance

Author: Brian Kavanagh Manager Statutory Services


Purpose Council to approve the implementation of Precinct Parking Zones.

Background The increasing development of residential units/commercial/office space throughout the locality, combined with the expansion of private schools faculties, Bethesda hospital and aged care facilities has placed significant strain on the number of available on-street parking spaces in the district. This has been exacerbated by the growing draw by PTA commuters accessing the Claremont Railway Station and parking all day on local residential streets, together with the number of large homes and residents with an expectation to be provided with parking permits to allow multiple cars to park on the street.

Currently the strategies being employed by the Town (and others) to manage parking in the town centre precinct and local streets consist of timed parking restrictions being applied to a small number of local streets, timed parking restriction to public car parking stations, paid parking in Claremont Quarter/Time Square, and parking permits being distributed to residents to enable residents or their visitors to park in the street contrary to timed parking restrictions.

A parking forum was held in August 2014 and Councillors provided the following priorities; • orderly rationing of scarce resources (on-street bays) • limit on number of permits for residents in group housing /apartments • new technology options • consistency with parking controls across precincts • put a price on permits • additional enforcement resource • lots of parking on demand • introduce parking zones • policing parking laws (tougher approach) • integrate controls across and between zones- time restricted parking – precinct

wide.


Page 11

At a subsequent forum presentation in November 2015, Councillor’s supported the following actions to be implemented; • introduce Parking zones • introduce timed parking throughout zones • combination of timed parking and parking permit to all streets in the zones • introduce an application/registration fee for permits • a limit of permits to each single residential property in the zone (maximum per

property and only the owner can make application) • review of parking local law • develop a parking permit policy.

In May 2016, Council resolved to repeal the Town of Claremont’s Parking Local Law 2012 and adopt the updated Parking Local Law 2016. A draft Parking Permit Policy has been prepared which provides a maximum of one parking permit to each single residential property. A fee of $20 for the application/registration for parking permits has been established in the Town’s 2016-17 schedules of fees and charges. While similar to other local governments (Subiaco-$30; Vincent-$27), the fee neither reflects full recovery of administration fees associated with issuing the permit, nor does it place a value on the provision of a public asset (road) to park private vehicles. An alternative to the current fee is to place a value on this access to public land when issuing a permit, for example first free, second $150, third or more $200 each. The Town engaged Luxmoore Parking and Safety Consultancy to prepare a model Precinct Parking Plan for use in the Central North, Central South, Central East Central West, and Loch Street Station Precincts (Attachment 1). In addition the consultants prepared a North East Precinct Plan (Attachment 2) to deal specifically with parking surrounding the Claremont Oval. The North East Precinct requires a mix of strategies to be employed over the next 10 years with the area initially under construction and then occupied, by multiple high-rise dwellings, commercial businesses, retail shops, and the redevelopment of Claremont Football Club facilities. With the growth in residents and visitors to the NEP, there will be a greater demand for parking with no significant corresponding increase in available parking space.

Discussion The review of the Town’s current parking strategies was undertaken to ensure parking of vehicles for residents, visitors and employees working in the town centre can be achieved with an orderly and structured process.

There are some key measures identified in the Precinct Parking Plan which include the number of available on-street bays, location of on-street paid parking, time restrictions, resident parking permit policy, mobility parking, and reductions in parking and spill-over areas.

The information presented to the Councillor’s Forum in November 2015 confirmed the shortfall of on-street bays (town wide) against the number of residential dwellings, the number of parking permits currently being issued, and the number of off-street parking bays controlled or managed by the Town.


Page 12

The Town has

• 3,768 single dwellings with 4,900 rateable assessments, • space for 2,523 on-street parking bays (town wide) available however this does

not include provision for sight lines from driveways, and assumes parking on both sides of the road,

• issued 571 parking permits to residents in 2015-16, • six Parking Stations which provides 424 car bays, and • nine private Parking Stations which provide an additional 572 bays under its

management.

The results of the survey provided by Councillors in November 2015 supported

• introduction of parking precincts, • introduction of timed parking throughout precincts, • a combination of timed parking and parking permit to all streets within the

precincts, and • introduction of an application/registration fee for permits. The proposed precincts (Attachment 1) provide a dedicated parking regime that is continuous and consistent over all precincts. Each precinct is located adjacent to either a school, university, hospital, age care facilities, commercial/office, the Royal Show grounds, main railway /bus routes, and in most cases a combination of each. All have limited on-street parking bays available to meet the expectations of residents and their visitors to park adjacent to the residential property. The competition for access to the on-street bays is increasing due to expansion of school facilities. An increasing number of older students (years 11&12) are driving to school and on-street bays in nearby residential streets has become an option for students to park. The increase in retail/commercial opportunities, expansion of age care/hospital facilities, UWA campus and PTA commuters using Swanbourne, Claremont and Loch Street stations attracts more people to the precincts and compounds the competition for the limited number of available on-street bays to the detriment of the residents or their visitors. The current permit parking system is inefficient and costly to administer. It does not allow the effective use of spaces and allows abuse by eligible and unauthorised permit holders. It also places an inequitable burden on those ratepayers who provide their own parking within the property boundary or do not drive. The strategy suggested for managing parking in all precincts (excluding the NEP) is to implement and enforce a 2 hour timed parking 8.30am to 5.30pm restriction to all streets within each precinct. A Parking Permit Policy (Attachment 3) has been prepared to support the management of the Precinct Parking Plan. The Parking Permit Policy recommends a limit of one parking permit is issued to each single residential property in the district. This best reflects current demand while acknowledging the limited on-road bays available. The Parking Permit Policy recommends the Town will not issue parking permits for multiple dwellings.


Page 13

The parking permits allow residents or their visitors to park on any street within the precinct their residence is located. The parking permits are allocated to and valid only for the precinct it has been issued. The permits will allow residents or their visitors to park longer than the applied timed parking restriction. It however does not allow parking contrary to other control restrictions and signage (No Stopping, Clearway, Cycle Lanes, and Continuous Yellow Line markings etc). Precinct Parking Permits cannot be used in the Town Centre, Swanbourne and Ashton Avenue shopping areas. Importantly, a parking permit does not guarantee there will be a parking bay available. The implementation of Precinct Parking Zones will require some changes to existing signage and also on a number of streets (Garden, Caxton, Queen, George, Albert etc) where parking would be confined to one side only because of the narrow carriageway of the street. The Central North Precinct (around Scotch College) may require additional signage to be installed to ensure compliance during peak periods (7.30 am-9.00am and 2.30pm-4.00pm). The number of available on-street bays is limited by the constraints of the location of crossovers, carriageway width of the streets bus embayment’s, fire hydrant locations and the required line of sight set back from intersections’.

Contractors/builders who are working on projects in the precincts and need to occupy parking bays would be required to apply to the Town and obtain ‘Work Zone’ permits. North East Precinct (NEP) The North East Precinct Plan (Attachment 2) deals with vehicle parking surrounding the Claremont Oval and the increased density of the area over the next 10 years. The study area within the NEP and north of the railway line was a 400m radius of the centre of the Claremont oval (zone 1) and the area between 400m and 600m (zone 2). North East Precinct Parking Management Zones

Existing off-street parking facilities are currently not being efficiently managed. This is evident in the high occupancy rate of unrestricted all-day parking and to the low occupancy rate of nearby 2P facilities. Currently there are 231 off-street 2P parking bays that are seldom used during the week. Due to the inefficient use of off-street parking facilities, overflow of long-term parkers is impacting residential streets which are experiencing high levels of all-day parking due to their unrestricted parking status. The study area currently has a capacity of approximately 531 parking bays with 184 on-street marked and unmarked bays, 231 in formalised off-street car parks and 76 in informal/unsurfaced off-street car parks. In addition, there are two temporary off-street car parks in the study area that provide approximately 198 parking bays for commuters but are due to close in November 2016 when the new underground ‘Park

Underground bays are currently being constructed in the Claremont Football development. 200 of these have been allocated to the PTA for paid Park and Ride parking for train commuters. The Town is due to surface and formalise 76 off-street parking bays at the corner of Davies Road and Shenton Road and will encourage use by the public and make introducing paid parking easier. There may be a possibility to construct a deck car park at a location within the NEP precinct. During the construction period some existing off-street parking may be inaccessible.

Zone 2 comprises mainly on-street parking outside residential properties, with the exception of the off-street parking at the show grounds. Although the show grounds have approximately 233 off-street parking bays accessible through gate 5, access to these bays is generally not available to the public on a daily basis. It is noted that this valuable parking resource could greatly increase the overall parking capacity for zone 2 especially in the short to medium-term (2016–2019), when construction workers will require long-term parking.

Current Parking Demand

There has been significant reduction in parking supply for the NEP with the closure of the PTA unsurfaced ‘Park and Ride’ car park (approximately 450 bays) north of the railway line to accommodate the realignment of Shenton Road.

Two temporary car parks with a combined capacity of 198 have been provided for commuters but are due to close in November 2016 when the new underground ‘Park and Ride’ facility opens. Underground bays are currently being constructed in the Claremont Football development, 200 of these have been allocated to the PTA for paid Park and Ride parking for train commuters. The closure may result in a high demand on the limited off-street long-term parking facilities and a spill-over of long-term parkers into unrestricted residential streets.

The Precinct Parking Plan model (Table 3) suggests the walking distance between car parking locations and a user’s intended destination is significant. Generally, the time and distance which drivers are prepared to walk depends on the length of time which will be spent at their destination.

time) People with disabilities Deliveries and loading Emergency services Convenience store

Supermarket Professional services Medical clinic Residents

Airport parking Major sport or cultural event Overflow parking


Page 17

Parking demand in the NEP will be generated by several categories;

• Short-term (0–3 hr) visitors to residences, retail shops and businesses in the NEP

• Medium-term (3–5 hr) parkers to events and training at the oval, golf course, swimming pool and tennis club

• Long-term (5+ hr) parkers who are employed in the NEP or the town centre • Long-term train commuters • Long-term contractors involved in the construction of the various developments.

Off-street There is currently a high demand for long-term off-street parking and a low demand for short-term (2P) off-street parking within the Zone 1.

There is a high occupancy of the unrestricted (long-term) parking facilities compared to the low occupancy of adjacent 2P facilities. The high vacancy in the 2P car parks indicates that currently the demand for short-term parking during weekdays is low which is reasonable as there are few generators within a short walking distance. The available spaces could be better utilised if the 2P restrictions were changed.


Page 18

On-street

The spill-over of all-day parkers into residential streets which have no posted time restriction is evident on Motteram Avenue and Davies Road. The use of unrestricted on-street parking by long term parkers is likely to grow and will result in increased frustration for residents, their visitors and service vehicles until restrictions are introduced and compliance is monitored and enforced.

Additionally, on-street parking represents a resource which should not be ignored when designing a parking management plan. On-street parking often represents the most proximate and attractive parking for visitors to the precinct and can effectively and efficiently be shared between multiple user groups, particularly if user groups have peak parking requirements occurring at different times of the day. The use of on-street parking also acts as a traffic calming measure to reduce speeds and thereby add to the vitality of the area.

Proposed Changes The focus in the NEP Zone 1 and Zone 2 over the next three to five should be making more efficient and effective use of existing parking. It is recommended Council:

1. Introduce 2P parking to all on-street parking in NEP Zones 1 & 2. Restrictions should apply between 8.30am–5.30pm, Monday to Sunday.

2. The Precinct Parking permit scheme is applied to NEP Zones 1 and 2 so that residents and their visitors can easily be identified and exempted time restrictions.

3. Receive a further report on fee paying management options to better reflect and manage user demands in all off-street car parks and on-street bays within the NEP Zone 1. Options to include recommended restrictions times and parking fee business case to determine an appropriate fee structure for the Zone.

Past Resolutions NIL

Financial and Staff Implications The implementation of the Parking Permit Policy would be in accordance with existing budgetary allocation. A Business Case is required to be prepared before proceeding to implement paid parking in the NEP Zone 1. The Business Case would address the personnel and infrastructure resources required. Subject to Council approving and proceeding with introducing paid parking to the NEP Zone 1 precinct, a funding allocation may be required from Cash in Lieu – Parking Reserve Fund.

Communication and Consultation Information regarding the implementation of Precinct Parking and Parking Permits will sent to all eligible residents.

Strategic Community Plan People We live in an accessible and safe community that welcomes diversity, enjoys being active and has a strong sense of belonging.

• Maintain, effectively manage and enhance the Town’s community facilities in response to a growing community.

Environment We are a leader in responsibly managing the build and natural environment for the enjoyment of the community and continue to provide sustainable, leafy green parks, streets and outdoor spaces.

• Create opportunities for varied transport options that reduce carbon emissions and other impacts of a growing town.

• Provide education and communication on leading practices to the community.

Governance and Leadership We are an open and accountable local government that encourages community involvement and strives to keep its community well informed.

• Provide and maintain a high standard of governance, accountability, management and strategic planning.


• Maintain long term financial stability and growth.

Urgency The Town is being requested by residents to introduce a parking system that provides residents and their visitor’s reasonable access to on-street parking spaces. The growth of the area is attracting more people to the precincts therefore compounds the competition for the limited number of available on-street bays to the detriment of the residents or their visitors. The implementation Precinct Parking Plan will assist to manage parking of vehicles in local residential streets.


OFFICER RECOMMENDATION That Council 1. Endorse the implementation of Parking Precinct Zones

2. Endorse the proposed parking control methods in Zones

3. Adopt revised Parking Permit Policy LV129

Town of Claremont ii North East Precinct Parking Management Plan 31 May 2016

Report No. PRS16059


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Over the next 10 years the area around the Claremont oval will be under development with the construction of multiple high-rise dwellings, commercial businesses, retail shops, and the redevelopment of Claremont Football Club facilities. With the growth in residents and visitors to the NEP, there will be a greater demand for parking.

The purpose of this report is to identify and respond to the major issues and provide the Town with appropriate and consistent parking management guidelines.

The key objectives of the parking management plan include:

adequately catering to the changing demand that will result from the significant new development in the precinct

identifying parking supply and management policies and actions to support the short and longer term development of the precinct

identifying actions for the area within a 400 m radius and within a 400–600 m radius of the centre of Claremont oval

integrating parking location with the rail, bus, pedestrian and cycle networks

integrating parking with urban design objectives.

The study area is located within the NEP and north of the train line. For the purposes of this report the area within a 400 m radius of the centre of the Claremont oval will be termed zone 1 and the area between 400 m and 600 m will be termed zone 2.

Parking demand in the NEP will be generated by several categories of parker.

1. Short-term (0–3 hr) visitors to residents, retail shops and businesses in the NEP.

2. Medium-term (3–5 hr) parkers to events and training at the oval, golf course, swimming pool and tennis club.

3. Long-term (5+ hr) parkers who are employed in the NEP or the town centre.

4. Long-term train commuters.

5. Long-term contractors involved in the construction of the various developments.

Consideration needs to be made for changing parking demands throughout the construction periods and the ongoing demand generated by the various developments.

Zone 1 Key Findings

There is a large amount of development occurring around Claremont oval. Existing off-street parking facilities are currently not being efficiently managed. This is evident in the high occupancy rate of unrestricted all-day parking and to the low occupancy rate of nearby 2P facilities. Currently there are 231 off-street 2P parking bays that are seldom used during the week. User requirements and parking restrictions within the study area are currently not aligned.

Due to the inefficient use of off-street parking facilities, overflow of long-term parkers is impacting residential streets which are experiencing high levels of all-day parking due to their unrestricted parking status.

Town of Claremont iii North East Precinct Parking Management Plan 31 May 2016

Report No. PRS16059


Time restrictions need to be introduced to on-street parking to create churn of bays and maintain occupancy rates of less than 85%. This will ensures that parking resources are well-used and people can park in a reasonable proximity to their destination.

Comprehensive parking surveys of the area need to be performed each year so that informed decisions can be made about the implementation of the Parking Management Plan and whether additional parking is required in the precinct.

Without the addition of any new parking facilities there will be a net reduction of 250 public parking bays available in the NEP, when comparing the 2015 supply to the 2018 supply.

The Town is due to surface and formalise 76 off-street parking bays at the corner of Davies Road and Shenton Road (car park D). This will not provide any additional parking bays to the area but it will encourage use by the public and make introducing paid parking easier.

There may be a possibility to construct a deck car park at a location within the NEP precinct. A future deck car park may be constructed in two stages. During the construction period some existing off-street parking may be inaccessible.

The current parking demand requires implementation of paid parking in zone 1 and time restrictions in zone 2. It will be necessary to monitor and enforce for compliance regularly.

Short-term Recommendations (2016 to 2018)

The focus in the NEP over the next three year should be on making more efficient and effective use of the available parking. Recommended measures are:

1. Conduct detailed parking surveys every year so that parking supply and demand can be quantifiably assessed and the parking management plan set out in Section 4 can be implemented effectively into the future.

2. Introduce paid ticket parking and change time restrictions imposed to better reflect user demands in all off-street car parks within zone 1. Fees and time restrictions should only apply between 8am– 6pm, Monday to Sunday.

3. Introduce 3P paid ticket parking on all on-street parking bays within zone 1. Fees and time restrictions should only apply between 8am-6pm, Monday to Sunday.

4. Introduce 4P parking to all on-street parking in zone 2. Restrictions should only apply between 8am–6pm, Monday to Sunday.

5. Introduce parking permit schemes into NEP so that residents and their visitors can easily be identified and exempted from fees and time restrictions.

6. Planning for a deck car park needs to commence in 2016-17 so that construction can start within 5-7 years.

7. The parking management plan set out in section 4 is implemented as soon as possible so that parking in the NEP is managed effectively and efficiently

8. Formalise car park D by providing an asphalt surface, line-marked parking bays, storm-water drainage and lighting.

9. Negotiate with developers and show grounds management for use of 233 parking bays in the show ground adjacent to Gate 5 for long-term parking needed by construction workers on the NEP development sites.

10. Conduct a parking fee business case to determine a detailed fee structure for parking in the NEP.

Town of Claremont iv North East Precinct Parking Management Plan 31 May 2016

Report No. PRS16059


Medium-Term (2018 to 2021)

The medium-term focus should be on continuing to provide efficient and cost-effective parking while starting to make explicit use of parking as a travel demand management tool. Major recommendations are:

1. Reassess parking demand by comparative annual surveys as businesses in the NEP become operational and residents move into dwellings. Update parking fees and restrictions according to the parking management plan to reflect the change in parking demand and supply.

2. The deck parking facility be constructed in two stages, with stage 1 constructed within 5-7 years and a review of parking supply and demand be conducted in 2021 to determine if stage 2 is required

3. Provide wayfinding signage to public off-street car parks on all major arteries heading into the NEP such as Shenton Road, Davies Road and Graylands Road.

4. Introduce technology in off-street car parks to record occupancy, and transfer the data to large, clearly visible variable message parking wayfinding signage on major roads leading into the NEP.

5. Clear legible signage should promote walking times to nearby destinations such as Claremont oval, Town centre and Claremont train station.

6. Actively promote and encourage alternative modes of transport into the NEP such as walking, cycling and use of public transport.

Long-Term (2021 to 2026)

A review of the parking management plan in the NEP should be conducted following the completion of all construction work.

Town of Claremont 1 North East Precinct Parking Management Plan 31 May 2016

Report No. PRS16059


1 INTRODUCTION

The Town of Claremont (the Town) has engaged Luxmoore Parking and Safety to develop a parking management plan for the North East Precinct (NEP). The parking management plan is designed to improve the effective use of parking facilities in the NEP.

The NEP is fast becoming a busy residential, commercial, leisure, and public transport area. The Claremont train station, tennis club, swimming pools, Lake Claremont golf course, Claremont Football Club and the Perth Royal Show grounds are all located in the precinct.

Over the next 10 years the area around the Claremont oval will be under development with the construction of multiple high-rise dwellings, commercial businesses, retail shops, and the redevelopment of Claremont Football Club facilities. With the estimated growth of 1000 residents and many visitors to the NEP, there will be a greater demand for parking.

Adding to the pressure on the limited parking available in the NEP is the recent closure of the Public Transport Authority (PTA) Park-and-Ride facility will result in the nett loss of approximately 250 parking bays close to the train station.

The purpose of this report is to identify and respond to the major issues and provide the Town with appropriate and consistent parking management guidelines.

The report focuses on a demand management, rather than a predict and provide approach.


Report No. PRS16059


2 BACKGROUND

This parking management plan for the study area within the NEP provides detailed guidance over a 10-year planning horizon in relation to management and control of parking together with a process for the phased implementation of a package of measures as the precinct moves to higher density. There are key measures such as triggers for on-street paid parking, time restrictions, parking permit policy, mobility parking, reductions in parking supply and spill-over areas that have been identified in the plan.

The key objectives of the parking management plan include:

adequately catering to the changing demand that will result from the significant new development in the precinct

identifying parking supply and management policies and actions to support the short and longer term development of the precinct

identifying actions for the area within a 400 m radius and within a 400–600 m radius of the centre of Claremont oval

integrating parking location with the rail, bus, pedestrian and cycle networks

integrating parking with urban design objectives.


Report No. PRS16059


2.1 Study Area

The study area is located within the NEP and north of the train line. For the purposes of this report the area within a 400 m radius of the centre of the Claremont oval will be termed zone 1 and the area between 400 m and 600 m will be termed zone 2 as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1: North East Precinct parking management zones

Parking demand in the NEP will be generated by several categories of parker.

7. Short-term (0–3 hr) visitors to residents, retail shops and businesses in the NEP.

8. Medium-term (3–5 hr) parkers to events and training at the oval, golf course, swimming pool and tennis club.

9. Long-term (5+ hr) parkers who are employed in the NEP or the town centre.

10. Long-term train commuters.

11. Long-term contractors involved in the construction of the various developments.

Consideration needs to be made for changing parking demands throughout the construction periods and the ongoing demand generated by the various developments.

3 CURRENT PARKING SUPPLY AND DEMAND

3.1 Current Parking Supply

The study area currently has a capacity of approximately 531parking bays with 224 on-street marked and unmarked bays, 231 in formalised off-street car parks and 76 in informal/unsurfaced off-street car parks1. In addition, there are two temporary off-street car parks in the study area that provide approximately 198 parking bays. Figure 3-1 shows the current parking supply within the study area.

Show Grounds Gate 5


Report No. PRS16059


Zone 2 comprises mainly on-street parking outside residential properties, with the exception of the off-street parking at the show grounds. Although the show grounds has approximately 233 off-street parking bays accessible through gate 5, access to these bays is generally not available to the public on a daily basis. It is noted that this valuable parking resource could greatly increase the overall parking capacity for zone 2 especially in the short to medium-term (2016–2019), when construction workers will require long-term parking.

It is recommended that the Town negotiate with the show grounds management to allow the weekday use of the show grounds car park via Gate No. 5 for long-term paid parking for the majority of the year when the show grounds are not being used for events. This will take considerable pressure off demand driven by contractors.

3.2 Current Parking Demand

Based on information gathered during a site visit on 31/03/2016 and observations made of Nearmap images dated 4/04/2016, there is a high demand for long-term parking within the NEP, generated by train commuters, construction workers and employees of businesses in the Claremont town centre, as illustrated in Figure 3-2. There has been significant reduction in parking supply for the NEP with the closure of the PTA unsurfaced ‘Park and Ride’ car park (approximately 450 bays) north of the railway line to accommodate the realignment of Shenton Road. Two temporary carparks T1 and T2 as shown in Figure 3-1, with a combined capacity of 198 have been provided for commuters but are due to close in November 2016 when the new underground ‘Park and Ride’ facility opens. Underground bays are currently being constructed in the Claremont Football development. 200 of these have been allocated to the PTA for paid Park and Ride parking for train commuters.

This closure will result in a high demand on the limited off-street long-term parking facilities and a spill-over of long-term parkers into unrestricted residential streets. Only 200 of the previous 450 PTA bays will be replaced in the new ‘Park and Ride’ facility under the Claremont Football Club (refer to section 5).

Off-street

There is currently a high demand for long-term off-street parking and a low demand for short-term (2P) off-street parking within the study area.

Figure 3-2 is an aerial photo taken on the morning of Friday, 4 March 2016. It shows the high occupancy of the unrestricted (long-term) parking facilities compared to the low occupancy of adjacent 2P facilities. The high vacancy in the 2P car parks indicates that currently the demand for short-term parking during weekdays is low which is reasonable as there are few generators within a short walking distance. The available spaces could be better utilised if the 2P restrictions were changed.

On-street

The spill-over of all-day parkers into residential streets which have no posted time restrictions is evident on Motteram Avenue and Davies Road. The use of unrestricted on-street parking by long term parkers is likely to grow and will result in increased frustration for residents, their visitors and service vehicles until restrictions are introduced and compliance is monitored and enforced.

4 PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN

4.1 Utilisation of Existing Car Parking Vacancies

Given the significant cost of providing additional car parking, it is important to first maximise the use of the existing car parking supply within the study area. In particular this applies to off-street parking facilities that are currently underutilised due to time restrictions not matching user requirements.

Additionally, on-street parking represents a resource which should not be ignored when designing a parking management plan. On-street parking often represents the most proximate and attractive parking for visitors to the precinct and can effectively and efficiently be shared between multiple user groups, particularly if user groups have peak parking requirements occurring at different times of the day. The use of on-street parking also acts as a traffic calming measure to reduce speeds and thereby add to the vitality of the area.

Therefore, in establishing the most appropriate parking management plan to cater for future parking demands, some reliance on on-street parking as well as optimisation of existing off-street parking should be considered.

4.1.1 Incorporating Wayfinding and Vacancy Signs

In order for drivers to easily locate off-street parking facilities and identify the availability of parking bays, wayfinding and vacancy signs should be utilised for all off-street parking facilities in the NEP. This will also help improve the effective and efficient use of off-street parking supply in the precinct. Incorporating wayfinding signs will assist navigation by drivers, promote the use of off-street parking facilities, reduce the number of vehicles cruising the streets searching for a bay and increase people’s perception of available parking within the precinct. An example is shown below.

Figure 4-1: Wayfinding sign

It is recommended that wayfinding signs showing the location of all public off-street car parks and the number of vacancies be installed on major streets heading into the NEP such as Shenton Road, Davies Road and Graylands Road.

4.2 Guidelines for Effective Paid Parking

It is important to define the objectives for paid parking in order to determine how fees will be structured:


Report No. PRS16059


for traffic management – peak period fees should be high enough to encourage a shift in travel modes or times.

for parking management – fees during peak demand periods and at the most convenient locations should be high enough to generate a maximum 85% occupancy rate. If prices are too low, parking becomes saturated causing motorists to cruise around in search of a space. The target is to ensure that at times of peak demand, 15% of spaces (one in seven) are available.

Paid parking on and off-street is comprehensively implemented as a parking demand management tool across most metropolitan councils around Perth. Best practice is for the introduction of pay parking off and on-street to be considered when regular peak-hour demand is starting to exceed 85%2 as this will lead to the most efficient use of public parking.

The implementation of pay parking off and on-street is designed to save cruising time, reduce traffic, conserve energy, improve air quality, generate income to the Town and influence and contribute to traffic and parking management. The need to introduce paid parking should be related to the level of excessive demand that is required to be managed. It should not be used in a way that could potentially impact on the viability of local businesses or residential amenity.

Regardless of the emotion often surrounding the introduction of paid parking, there is little doubt that it represents an efficient and effective means to manage on and off-street parking demand and encourage churn of bays.

Paid parking is beneficial because:

it can operate in parking permit environments by exempting residents from the requirement to pay

ticket machines are highly visible and help to reduce non-compliance in areas with signposted time restrictions

the efficiency of enforcement and the level of compliance in metered areas are significantly higher as rangers only need to attend each vehicle once, rather than chalk a tyre and then return again

fees can be easily adjusted to allow the parking management system to differentiate between types of parker categories (e.g. customers vs employees) through fee structures

revenue from paid parking can be redistributed to benefit the community and improve access infrastructure through the upgrade of signage, enhanced road safety and general improvement of the public realm in the area.

It is also important that the 85% occupancy is occurring with compliant parking. Adequate enforcement resources, both personnel and technology are necessary prior to any decision to implement paid parking. Parking enforcement rosters should include all periods of peak demand.

On-street parking fees should be 15–20% higher than equivalent off-street parking charges in order to reflect the premium nature of kerbside parking and to encourage drivers to use the off-street facilities, where they can usually obtain a longer duration of stay. A higher on-street fee will encourage users to off-street car parks. This is clearly illustrated in the Leederville

Report No. PRS16059


precinct in the City of Vincent where on-street parking is $2.50/hour compared with nearby off-street car parks where the first hour is free and then the charge is $2.50/hour.

When applying this criterion to the study area, consideration should be given to adjacent streets where regular peak-hour demand may rise as a result of the implementation of pay parking in areas where demand is currently high. This will require regular surveys of parking demand in these areas. It is suggested that parking surveys be performed every year.

4.3 Parking Intervention Trigger

Where parking demand is high, the Town should apply various parking restrictions to achieve a target peak occupancy rate of 85% for on and off-street parking.

There are different parking controls that can be used to manage on and off-street parking. It is important that decisions to change controls are based on sound principles and empirical data rather than a reactive approach to complaints. It is also useful for the public to understand how decisions to amend parking controls are made.

Figure 4-2 illustrates the trigger points where a new parking management control is recommended to manage a change in demand. Areas which experience no change in demand and do not reach the trigger points, will not require any change.

Figure 4-2: Parking framework

This framework provides a consistent approach to parking management based on parking occupancy thresholds. Each threshold has a different degree or severity for parking controls. For areas that reach more than 85% occupancy, controls promote mode shift to alternative transport thereby promoting sustainability. The framework provides a flexible approach to parking management, enabling parking controls to adapt to the dynamic and transforming nature of the NEP.

It is recommended that this parking framework is applied to all parking management decisions in the NEP.


Report No. PRS16059


4.4 Demand-responsive Pricing

Demand-responsive pricing means that the prices charged for parking will be adjusted based on parking demand data. Price rates will be adjusted up or down with the goal of maintaining on average 85% occupancy at peak times. An occupancy range of 70–90% is considered an acceptable range. The target parking occupancy rate is not set at 100% because some parking spaces should be available at all times. Figure 4-3 shows an example of demand-responsive pricing procedure

Prices for on and off-street parking should be set according to the following general principles:

prices for parking should be set at levels that ensure people can find a car park most of the time within a short walking distance of their destination

in general, if the data for demand for parking in an area is found to decrease, then prices should also decrease and vice versa

on-street parking in the study area should be prioritised to support customers and other short-term visitors ahead of long-stay commuters. Prices are more effective than time-limits at prioritising users in this way.

Figure 4-3: Street parking strategy – process model


Report No. PRS16059


The way parking prices are set in different parts of the Town should be transparent and based on up-to-date empirical evidence of parking demand patterns in that area and observed trends in these patterns over time.

4.5 Introduce a Parking Hierarchy

When different parking user groups are competing for the same parking space and demand exceeds the supply, a saturation of parking facilites occurs. There needs to be recognition of different user priorities through the introduction of a parking hierarchy.

The objectives of the parking hierarchy are to uphold the safety and convenience of all road users, encourage the use of alternative transport modes such as walking, bus, train and cycling, promote equitable and transparent allocation of parking spaces across all user groups and facilitate consistent decision-making regarding parking infrastructure.

The parking user hierarchy should be applied to planning decisions in the Town. Policies should achieve the parking hierarchy through pricing, time regulations and enforcement. Parking restrictions required for road safety reasons, pedestrian crossings, emergency purposes and Town services take precedence over all other users. For example, disabled parking is inconvenient and unsafe on-street and consequently a low priority in commercial centres. Disabled parking is therefore given a high priority in off-street car parks.


Report No. PRS16059


4.5.1 Parking User Groups

To enable equitable sharing of parking resources, it is necessary to identify all the different parking user groups and prepare a parking hierarchy. The parking hierarchy assumes there are no other competing interests for the on-street or off-street parking spaces e.g. pedestrian paths and footpath trading or eating, bus priority or cycle lanes. The following is a list, in no specific order of parking user groups, their definitions and priority requirements.

Public transport

Parking restrictions are applied to indicate a bus or taxi zone specifically reserved for these vehicles/users. This user group should generally have priority when considering kerbside allocation.

Loading

Service vehicles are vital to the operation of a commercial centre. They should have a high priority for the allocation of a limited number of on-street parking spaces. However, planning requirements should ensure all new developments provide for service vehicles within the development itself. Loading zones should not be provided unless off-street loading facilities are not available.

They should cater for the needs of legitimate goods-carrying vehicles only. These vehicles are usually permitted to stand in a loading zone for 15 minutes while engaged in picking up or setting down goods. Proper enforcement is necessary to prevent loading zones from becoming private parking for owners or staff of commercial businesses. Private-use motor vehicles should not be entitled to park in loading zones during business hours, but signage should permit unrestricted parking after hours.

Disability permit holders

The Australian Disability Parking Scheme helps eligible people park nearer to their destination. ACROD3 permit holders in WA are entitled to park:

in any space provided for a person with a disability in an on-street or off-street parking location, such as shopping centres, hospitals etc.

in local government metered or regulated parking areas on-street for double the maximum time allowed.

Spaces allocated for persons with a disability should be given particular priority in the immediate vicinity of uses that have a high demand for disability access, such as hospitals and other community services. Wherever possible, parking bays for the disabled should be located off-street to provide additional convenience and safety to the driver.

Short to medium-stay

For business, retail, professional services and recreational needs, short-stay parking is generally for up to 2 hours and medium-term parking between 2 and 4 hours. These user classes should be provided for commercial centres, sports facilities, entertainment centres and hotels. Enforcement should ensure compliant turnover of this parking.

Long-stay/employees

3 Formerly the Australian Council for Rehabilitation of Disabled, now renamed National Disability Services Limited.


Report No. PRS16059


Long-stay parking (4-24 hours) is provided to cater for employees and other long-term parkers such as building contractors. This user class should generally be allocated a relatively low priority, particularly on-street and in areas with high public transport accessibility.

Park and ride/commuters

This parking is provided to cater for people transferring to another mode of transport to complete their journey (e.g. catching a bus or train). Park and ride should be given priority at satellite/remote public transport nodes. This type of parking is generally not considered appropriate in commercial centres or at transit-oriented developments.

Residents

Many residential properties in the Town currently have access to at least one off-street car parking space. However, this may not be the case in the future in high-density areas. Residential parking policy/permit schemes should manage the demands of resident and visitor parking. Enforcement must ensure that access is not blocked to residents’ off-street parking.

Cyclists

Parking for cyclists falls into two broad categories:

all-day parking for employees and park-and-ride parking at public transport stations

short-term parking for visitors to shops, restaurants, offices, recreational facilities and other institutions (within 50 m of destination).

Parking for cyclists should be given a high priority and planning requirements should ensure that adequate parking provisions and end-of-trip facilities for cyclists be incorporated into all new developments.

Motorcycle and scooter parking

Motorcycle/scooter parking is generally treated no differently to that of cars. If vehicles are to be charged for parking, this should apply equally to motorcycles if they use spaces allocated to cars. An incentive for these motorcycles is to provide them with free parking in dedicated motorcycle spaces.

As car parking spaces can be easily divided into two motorcycle spaces, there is flexibility to convert spaces depending on demand. There are also environmental benefits of motorcycle/scooter use over cars.

A program to encourage parking for motorcycles in appropriate locations in the commercial centres should be considered. These parking spaces should be well signed and promoted on the website.

Construction workers

Parking for construction workers is generally not required within a residential, retail and commercial area, but due to the large amount of construction that will be underway over the next 10 years, consideration of their requirements is needed.

As construction workers will only be creating demand on parking facilities for the next 10 years they should be given a low priority, financial and land investments into catering for this group should be considered as a last resort.


Report No. PRS16059


4.5.2 Proposed Hierarchy for NEP

The parking user hierarchy should be considered in planning decisions made by the Town. Parking management practices should achieve the parking hierarchy through a combination of pricing, time regulations and enforcement.

The user groups and their priority for zone 1 and 2 are reflected in Table 4-1. Parking restrictions required for road safety reasons, pedestrian crossings, emergency purposes and town services should take precedence over all other users.

4.6 Fees and Time Restrictions

As parking occupancy in zone 1 is currently above 85% except in 2P restricted car parks A, B, C and E (refer to Figure 3-1) the introduction of paid parking is necessary in accordance with the parking management plan recommendations.

It is recommended that on and off-street paid ticket parking be introduced to all council-controlled parking facilities within zone 1, and that zone 2 be free of charge but subject to time restrictions.

4.6.1 Parking Fees

It is recommended that a parking fee business case be conducted to determine a detailed fee structure for parking in the NEP.

The fee structure will be based on a variety of factors including:

the date of implementation

the fees charged at competing parking facilities in the vicinity

availability of alternative parking


Report No. PRS16059


walking distance from the parking facility to Claremont oval, Claremont train station and the town centre.

The following guidelines4 will be applicable to the implementation of paid parking fees in the NEP.

Charge drivers directly rather than indirectly.

Offer convenient locations and options for payment, including as a minimum, acceptance of coin, notes, credit card and mobile phone.

Use small time units so drivers can avoid paying for more time than they need; e.g. for short-term parking charge in five minute blocks, for long-term charge by the hour rather than the day.

Charge higher fees at the most convenient spaces (on-street) to encourage high churn.

Use incremental price structures to favour short-term users, e.g. $2 for first hour then $5 for second hour, etc.

Daily rates should be set at >6 x hourly rate

Minimise discounts for long-term parking.

Ensure that fee structures are flexible and can be amended in order to manage changes in demand during the year. It is inefficient to review fees only once a year in accordance with Council’s budget timetables.

Set parking fees with some reference to popular public transport fares, e.g. all day parking should be higher than a two-zone return train fare.

Encourage businesses to price parking and offer discounts or refunds to their bona fide clients. This can be accommodated with new technologies for patrons of the swimming pool and the golf course.

Provide discount parking in short-term areas to multi-passenger vehicles (car sharing).

Ensure a high level of compliance by means of regular and unpredictable enforcement.

Implement flexible parking pricing at different times of the day and the week such as on event days.

Minimise the exceptions to pay parking, e.g. all loading vehicles, couriers and other parkers using public or designated on-street parking spaces should be required to display a ticket.

An example of current parking fees for off-street parking facilities in Claremont, Subiaco and Leederville are shown in Table 4-2. This is intended to give an indication of fees being charged in similar high activity centres.

4.6.2 Time Restrictions

It is recommended that all paid on-street parking within zone 1 be restricted to 3P. This will provide enough time for short-term visitors to conveniently access popular destinations in the NEP as well as the town centre (refer to Figure 4-1) but will discourage long-term parkers such as commuters and employees. The 3P time restriction is intended to create a high level of churn meaning that on-street parking will generally be available.

Off-street parking in zone 1 will not have time restrictions.

It is recommended that all parking within zone 2 be free but subject to a 4P time restriction. This is intended to discourage long-term parkers and provide free medium and short-term parking for users willing to walk a greater distance to popular destinations.

The implementation of a parking permit scheme is recommended so that residents and visitors can easily be identified and exempt from time restrictions. This will help to improve the efficient use of on-street parking and increase effective compliance enforcement.

It is recommended that all on and off-street parking time restrictions only be applicable between 8am-6pm, Monday to Sunday. This should be clearly stated on signs.

4.6.3 Walking Distances

The walking distance between car parking locations and a user’s intended destination is significant. Generally, the time and distance which drivers are prepared to walk depends on the length of time which will be spent at their destination, and the condition of the pedestrian walkway.

The Victorian Transport Policy Institute (VTPI)5 provides appropriate walking distances for various activities. Table 4-3 shows that the destinations whose customers stay for the shortest time typically accept the shortest walking distances and as the time each user expects to spend at the destination increases, the longer they find it acceptable to walk. For example a customer of a newsagent who wishes to buy a newspaper would only accept a

5 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPACTS ON PARKING SUPPLY AND DEMANDS

The NEP is currently undergoing development with the construction of multiple high-rise dwellings, commercial businesses, retail shops and the upgrade of the Claremont Football Club. Development within the precinct within the next 10 years is anticipated to provide 650–750 dwellings, 2600 m2 of retail space and 11700 m2 of commercial space6. The demand for parking will only increase as residents move into dwellings and retail and commercial shops open in the future. Figure 5-1 shows the proposed developments in the precinct.

Figure 5-1: Proposed development in North East Precinct

6 Claremont on the Park Fast Facts-Landcorp.


Report No. PRS16059


The following summarises key developments and resulting user groups that will impact on parking supply and demand within the study area.

Commercial and retail developments

With the development of 2600 m2 of retail space and 11700 m2 of commercial space in the NEP, there will be an increase in demand for short-term parking within close proximity of the oval for shoppers. There will also be a need to provide loading-bay parking for the delivery of goods to retail and commercial businesses.

Residents and visitors

New residential developments in the NEP are required to provide 1.25 parking bays per dwelling and some additional visitor bays. This is intended to provide all resident and visitor parking needs within the residential development, but is likely to be inadequate, placing demand on public parking.

As the 650–750 dwellings in the NEP become occupied, there is going to be increased demand for short and medium-term parking close to residential developments for residents and their visitors, trades people and other services to these residents.

PTA ‘Park-and-Ride’ parking

In November 2016 the PTA will open a ‘Park and Ride’ underground parking facility under the Claremont oval with a capacity of 200 vehicles. The ‘Park-and-Ride’ facility will be restricted to commuters through the use of their Smart Rider pass Monday to Friday between 5am and the last train. On weekends and public holidays the basement car park will be free to the public.

Considering the previous at grade ‘Park and Ride’ facility next to the railway line catered for up to 450 vehicles, there is likely to be at least 200 long-term parkers requiring parking close to the Claremont train station.

Claremont Football Club

As part of the Claremont Football Club redevelopment, 80 underground parking bays will be provided for members. These bays are unlikely to meet the demands generated by the club during the football season, creating demand on nearby parking facilities. Demand will be generated on training nights (generally weeknights after 4pm) and a larger demand on game days (generally weekends).

On football game days, the Claremont Football Club will pay the PTA for use of the 200 bays underground ‘Park and Ride’ facility and charge spectators a fee to use it.

Construction workers

Construction workers will place a high demand on the parking facilities over the construction period (about 10 years). After the construction period there will be less need to cater for this group.

As construction workers will not place a permanent demand on parking facilities their needs should be prioritised lower than the needs of other groups that will need ongoing parking.


Report No. PRS16059


It is recommended that developers be encouraged to organise adequate parking facilities for construction workers on private land such as the show grounds.

The above developments and resulting user groups are already creating additional demands on the limited parking supply in the NEP, and are only going to increase as businesses begin to open and residents move into apartments. It is recommended that the parking management plan set out in section 4 is implemented as soon as possible so that parking in the NEP is managed effectively and efficiently.

5.1 Cash-in-Lieu

The purpose of providing for cash payment in lieu of providing parking spaces is to facilitate co-ordinated and consolidated development through the provision of parking reserves.

An effective cash-in-lieu policy for the provision of parking will provide many benefits including policy flexibility, shared parking, fewer variances and better urban design.

A cash-in-lieu policy will allow developers and property owners to pay cash-in-lieu fees to remove existing requirements for the provision of parking bays. An effective cash-in-lieu policy will consolidate scattered parking bays, assist infill development, improve urban design, and encourage conversion of parking areas to higher-and-better uses that provide more services, yield more revenue, and employ more people. All property owners, not just developers, can use more of their land for buildings and less for parking.

It is recommended that the Town implements a cash-in-lieu policy for the NEP. Funds generated by the cash-in-lieu policy can be used to provide additional parking and improve existing parking facilities and access infrastructure in the NEP. For example, cash-in-lieu funds can be used for wayfinding signage, upgraded pedestrian paths and lighting and bicycle parking facilities.

6 POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL PROVISION OF PARKING BY TOWN OF CLAREMONT

6.1 Proposed Multi-level Parking on Davies Road

It has previously been proposed that a multi-level carpark be constructed on Davies Road in ‘Pay Parking Business Case’ 20137 and ‘Pay Parking Business Case-Davies and Lapsley Roads’ 20148.

6.1.1 Current Off-street Parking on Davies Road

Currently free 2P parking is provided in car parks A, B and C on Davies Road the car parks are used mainly by patrons of the golf course, swimming pool and tennis club.

6.1.2 Proposed Deck Car Park

Team Architects prepared concept drawings for the site in 2013 and has recently reviewed the potential design.

The original three levels of deck parking presented to the Town in ‘Pay Parking Business Case’ (2013), provided a total of 509 bays. The total capacity for parking bays has since been upgraded to 700 in three decks. The deck parking could be constructed in two stages, with each stage providing 350 parking bays.

The specific site of any future deck carpark has not yet been chosen. Davies Road has been assessed as a suitable location for a deck parking facility due to the sloping terrain to the west. This makes it an ideal location for a three level deck car park as it will have minimal visual impact to the area and provide maximum utilisation of the limited space. It is important to note that depending on the site chosen for the deck parking facility, there may be a loss of some existing off-street parking bays, but any loss will be insignificant compared to the additional capacity the deck car park will provide.

Providing an additional 700 off-street parking bays off Davies Road may result in an oversupply of parking bays and an inefficient use of land in the short to medium-term. The oversupply of parking bays will only encourage more drivers to the area creating congestion on the streets of the NEP.

Although there is inherent additional cost and inconvenience associated with constructing in stages, it is recommended that a deck parking facility be constructed in two stages, with stage 1 constructed within 5-7 years and a review of parking supply and demand be conducted in 2021 to determine if stage 2 is required. The proceeds the Town will generate from the introduction of paid parking in the NEP could be used to partially fund the future construction of stage 2.

It is recommended that planning for the deck car park commence in 2016-17 so that construction can start within 5-7 years.

6.1.3 Operational Assumptions for Additional On and Off-street Parking

The motivation for the public, commuters and employees of Claremont businesses to pay for parking will be enhanced with the incorporation of several assumptions. Users will only be willing to pay a fee for parking if they perceive they are obtaining some value for money and if they have limited alternatives. The assumptions are:

The car park design will be driver friendly at entry, at exit, and in searching for spaces.

Facilities such as pedestrian walkways, stairs and doors will be of a high standard.

A parking guidance signage system for drivers approaching on Davies Road will inform about available spaces.

The car park will be well lit at night and naturally ventilated, and open to the public 24 hours a day.

There will be a strong perception of safety and security in the car park for all users and their vehicles, with CCTV and mobile patrols.

Pedestrian access to the town centre and surrounding precinct will be of a very high standard incorporating principles of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), plus good lines of sight and lighting and a high perception of security.

6.2 Formalise Off-street Car Park D

The Town is due to formalise off-street parking at the corner of Shenton Road and Davies Road (carpark D). The car park surface will be sealed and line marked parking bays, storm-water drainage and lighting installed. This location could provide 76 formal parking bays within zone 1.

6.2.1 Current Use of Car Park D

This area is currently being used by commuters, construction workers and employees of Claremont businesses for long-term stays as there are no time restrictions. Figure 6-1 shows the informal off-street parking at the corner of Davies Road and Shenton Road.


Report No. PRS16059


Figure 6-1: Informal off-street parking

6.2.2 Proposed Parking at Car Park D

It is recommended that car park D be formalised by laying an asphalt surface and providing line-marked parking bays, storm-water drainage and lighting. The removal of some trees may be necessary to maximise this space.

It is recommended that car park D be formalised by the end of 2016. This will not provide any additional parking bays to the area but it will encourage use by the public and make introducing paid parking easier.

6.3 On-street Parking

There is the possibility for the Town to provide an additional 75 on-street parking bays within the NEP. Table 6-1 shows the possible location of on-street parking bays.

Only 15 of the 75 parking bays can be provided in zone 1 where demand will be greatest. However, the amount of additional on-street parking that can be provided is minimal compared to 700 bays that could be provided in a deck parking facility.

It is recommended that developing additional on-street parking at these locations be reviewed in the future to determine if it is required.

It can be seen that without the construction of deck parking there will be a shortfall of 250 parking bays by 2018 in the NEP. Construction of the deck parking could deliver an increase of 315 parking bays.

In order that the growing demand for parking generated by the substantial development of residential, commercial and retail space in the NEP can be meet, the Town will need to better manage the existing parking supply and provide additional parking bays.

It is recommended that the deck parking facility be constructed in two stages, with stage 1 constructed within 5-7 years and a review of parking supply and demand be conducted in 2021 to determine if stage 2 is required.

It is also recommended that car park D be surfaced and formalised by 2016.


Report No. PRS16059


7 KEY FINDINGS

Zone 1

1. There is a large amount of development occurring around Claremont oval. These developments are estimated to provide 650–750 dwellings, 2600m2 of retail space and 11700m2 of commercial space once completed.

2. The construction and final occupancy of the developments will generate an increase in demand for all types of parking in the NEP.

3. There are approximately 531 parking bays controlled by the Town within the study area, 307 are provided in off-street facilities, the remaining 224 are provided on-street.

4. There are approximately 198 parking bays provided in two temporary long-term car parks that will be closed by 2017, creating further demand on long-term parking facilities into the future.

5. Existing off-street parking facilities are currently not being efficiently managed. This is evident in the high occupancy rate of unrestricted all-day parking and to the low occupancy rate of nearby 2P facilities. Currently there are 231 off-street 2P parking bays that are seldom used during the week. User requirements and parking restrictions within the study area are currently not aligned.

6. Due to the inefficient use of off-street parking facilities, overflow of long-term parkers is impacting residential streets such as Motteram Avenue which is experiencing high levels of all-day parking due to its unrestricted parking status.

7. Time restrictions need to be introduced to on-street parking to create churn of bays and maintain occupancy rates of less than 85%. This will ensures that parking resources are well-used and people can park in a reasonable proximity to their destination.

8. Comprehensive parking surveys of the area need to be performed each year so that informed decisions can be made about the implementation of the Parking Management Plan and whether additional parking is required in the precinct.

9. 200 parking bays will be provided by PTA for ‘Park and Ride’ parkers. This is due to open in November 2016. The parking bays will be restricted to commuters between 5am and the last train Monday to Friday. Access will be through the use of a SmartRider card at a fee of $2 per day. The ‘Park and Ride’ facility will be open to the general public at no fee on weekends and public holidays.

10. Without the addition of any new parking facilities there will be a net reduction of 250 public parking bays available in the NEP, when comparing the 2015 supply to the 2018 supply.

11. There is a possibility to surface and formalise 76 off-street parking bays at the corner of Davies Road and Shenton Road (car park D). This will not provide any additional parking bays to the area but it will encourage use by the public and make introducing paid parking easier.

12. It is possible to construct a 700-bay deck car park at a location yet to be determined. The deck par park could be constructed in two stages, with each stage providing 350 parking bays. During the construction period some existing off-street parking may be inaccessible.

13. An additional 75 on-street parking bays can be constructed within the study area. Only 15 of these bays can be provided in the 400 m radius of the oval where demand will be


Report No. PRS16059


greatest. The amount of additional on-street parking that can be provided is minimal compared to the 700 bays that could be provided by the proposed deck parking facility.

14. The current parking demand requires implementation of paid parking in zone 1 and time restrictions in zone 2. It will be necessary to monitor and enforce for compliance regularly.

Zone 2

15. Zone 2 is predominantly residential streets with the majority of residents having access to off-street parking.

16. Medium to long-term parking is likely to be an issue during special events such as football games and the Perth Royal Show.

17. Spill-over of long-term parking is likely to occur as development around Claremont oval continues and more construction workers and visitors are attracted to the area.

18. Resident permit parking schemes will need to be implemented so that residents and visitors can easily be identified and exempt from any parking restrictions.

19. Implementation of parking restrictions and resident permit parking schemes will need to be implemented in conjunction with the introduction of paid parking in zone 1 so that the spill-over created by parkers attempting to avoid parking fees is discouraged.

20. The Town should attempt to negotiate with the show grounds management to allow the weekday use of the show grounds carpark No. 5 for long-term paid parking.

8 RECOMMENDATIONS

The following short-term, medium and long-term recommendations for the NEP have been developed from the parking management plan set out in section 4 and the key findings in section 7.

8.1 Short-term Recommendations (2016 to 2018)

The focus in the NEP over the next three year should be on making more efficient and effective use of the available parking. Recommended measures are:

1. Conduct detailed parking surveys every year so that parking supply and demand can be quantifiably assessed and the parking management plan set out in Section 4 can be implemented effectively into the future.

2. Introduce paid ticket parking and change time restrictions imposed to better reflect user demands in all off-street car parks within zone 1. Fees and time restrictions should only apply between 8am–6pm, Monday to Sunday.

3. Introduce 3P paid ticket parking on all on-street parking bays within zone 1. Fees and time restrictions should only apply between 8am-6pm, Monday to Sunday.

4. Introduce 4P parking to all on-street parking in zone 2. Restrictions should only apply between 8am–6pm, Monday to Sunday.

5. Introduce parking permit schemes into NEP so that residents and their visitors can easily be identified and exempted from fees and time restrictions.

6. Planning for the deck car park needs to commence in 2016-17 so that construction can start within 5-7 years.

7. The parking management plan set out in section 4 is implemented as soon as possible so that parking in the NEP is managed effectively and efficiently.

8. Formalise car park D by providing an asphalt surface, line-marked parking bays, storm-water drainage and lighting.

9. Negotiate with developers and show grounds management for use of 233 parking bays in the show ground car park 5 for long-term parking needed by construction workers on the NEP development sites.

10. Conduct a parking fee business case to determine a detailed fee structure for parking in the NEP.

8.2 Medium-Term (2018 to 2021)

The medium-term focus should be on continuing to provide efficient and cost-effective parking while starting to make explicit use of parking as a travel demand management tool. Major recommendations are:

11. Reassess parking demand by comparative annual surveys as businesses in the NEP become operational and residents move into dwellings. Update parking fees and restrictions according to the parking management plan to reflect the change in parking demand and supply.

12. The deck parking facility be constructed in two stages, with stage 1 constructed within 5-7 years and a review of parking supply and demand be conducted in 2021 to determine if stage 2 is required


Report No. PRS16059


13. Provide wayfinding signage to public off-street car parks on all major arteries heading into the NEP such as Shenton Road, Davies Road and Graylands Road.

14. Introduce technology in off-street car parks to record occupancy, and transfer the data to large, clearly visible variable message parking wayfinding signage on major roads leading into the NEP.

15. Clear legible signage should promote walking times to nearby destinations such as Claremont oval, Town centre and Claremont train station.

16. Actively promote and encourage alternative modes of transport into the NEP such as walking, cycling and use of public transport.

8.3 Long-Term (2021 to 2026)

1. A review of the parking management plan in the NEP should be conducted following the completion of all construction work.

With $957,820 of this total variance relating to works in various states of completion to be carried forward, this represents an ‘actual’ or permanent surplus of $794,368.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this statement offinancial activity are:

(a) Basis of AccountingThis Statement is a special purpose financial report, prepared in accordance with applicable AustralianAustralian Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the LocalGovernment Act 1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended).

(b) All Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in thisReimbursements are under projections.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balancesbetween those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the statement, but a separate statement of thosemonies appears at Note 11.

(c) Rounding Off FiguresAll figures shown in this statement are rounded to the nearest dollar.

(d) Rates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the local government obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control over assets acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.

(e) Goods and Services TaxIn accordance with recommended practice, revenues, expenses and assets capitalised are stated netof any GST recoverable. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of applicable GST.

(f) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that are readilyconvertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included asshort-term borrowings in current liabilities.

(g) Trade and Other ReceivablesTrade receivables, which generally have 30 - 90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance foruncollectible amounts.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectibleare written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidencethat they will not be collectible.

(h) InventoriesGeneralInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimatedselling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimatedcosts of necessary to make the sale.

Inventories held from trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months.

Land Held for ResaleCost includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest incurred on the financing of that land duringits development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development is complete are recognised asexpenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the operating statement as at the time of signing a binding contract of sale.

Land held for resale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on Council'sintentions to release for sale.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(I) Fixed AssetsAll assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given asconsideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominalconsideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assetsconstructed by the local government includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, directlabour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.

Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carrying values are not materiallydifferent from fair value. Assets carried at fair value are to be revalued with sufficient regularity to ensurethe carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using fair value at reporting date.

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their usefullives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied inthose assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reportingperiod. Major depreciation rates and periods are:

Buildings 2%Furniture and Equipment 14.3-30%Plant and Equipment 10-30%Motor Vehicles 20-30%

Roads - Aggregate 50 yearsRoads - Unsealed - Gravel 50 yearsDrains and Sewers 50 years

(k) Trade and Other PayablesTrade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and servicesprovided to the local government prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when theShire becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods andservices. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(l) Employee BenefitsThe provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long service leave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave expected tobe settled within 12 months represents the amount the Shire has a present obligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date. The provision has been calculated at nominal amounts based on remuneration rates the Shire expects to pay and includes related on-costs.

(ii) Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Long-term Benefits)The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the project unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future paymentsare discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Where theShire does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, the liability is recognised as a current liability.

(m) Interest-bearing Loans and BorrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received lessdirectly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedcost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that areyield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defersettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Town of Claremont

For the Period Ended 30 June 2016NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributableto the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they arecapitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset.

(n) ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when: The council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result ofpast events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlementis determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one of item included in the same class of obligations may besmall.

(o) Current and Non-Current ClassificationIn the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to thetime when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as currentif it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council's operational cycle. In thecase of liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months,such as vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settledwithin the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to berealised in the next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non current based onCouncil's intentions to release for sale.

File Ref: RDS/00201 Attachments: Parking Layout option 8c

Responsible Officer: Saba Kirupananther Executive Manager Infrastructure

Author: Nick King Manager Engineering Services


Purpose For the Council to approve the road alignment improvements and modification works at the intersection of Loch Street, Gugeri Street and Railway Road, Claremont and Nedlands as part of the City of Nedlands (CoN) National Black Spot program.

Background At the Ordinary Council Meeting on 6 August 2013, Council approved to support the black spot application by the CoN to improve the intersection of Loch Street, Gugeri Street and Railway Road. While also considering traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Gugeri Street, Ashton Avenue and Chancellor Street. This recommendation also included supporting the pedestrian signal installation on Railway Road, east of the Gugeri Street and Loch Street intersection.

Discussion City of Nedlands has undertaken the black spot funding application, commissioned a design consultant and will prepare the tender documents to construction phase. The Town has worked closely with CoN in all stages of the process, where agreed outcomes have been met in all circumstances to date. The proposed modification works are due to a combination of crashes at the intersection of Loch Street, Gugeri Street and Railway Road, and pedestrian safety issues to and from Loch Street train station crossing over Railway Road. Once a concept design was undertaken by the CoN’s design consultants, the designs were provided to the most affected businesses located within Claremont being McCarthy’s panel and paint and Diamond Hire. Both businesses opposed the proposed design, as it would impact parking and truck movements in the verge area within the road reserve. Following this, McCarthy’s panel and paint independently commissioned a traffic consultant, to review the proposed design on behalf of the two affected businesses,


Page 29

in an attempt to maximise their parking and space for truck movement in the verge area. The changes undertaken by the traffic consultant, to the verge parking areas of the businesses, proposed to adjust the current parking arrangement while still maintaining the same number of parking bays. As seen in the attached design t15 193-sk08b, an agreement was reached between the businesses and the Town of Claremont. This agreement included a painted footpath along the property boundaries, which joins the Loch Street and Gugeri Street intersection to the existing footpath on the south west of the affected businesses. The proposal also included the construction of a hard stand verge area on Loch Street outside Diamond Hire (currently embayed on street parking), to increase Diamond hires parking availability which has no adverse impact on the intersection modifications. Both businesses still requested both CoN and the Town to review the design to minimise impact to their verge area. On recent site inspection with both businesses, CoN and the Town, it was again assessed and determined that due to services including power pole, street light pole, big tree and stormwater drainage sump on the north side of the intersection, the north side traffic lanes could not be shifted further north. CoN on the request of the Town is still reviewing the design with its design consultants, the possibility to reduce median width and shift the south side traffic lanes further north and give the benefit to the businesses by reducing the loss of the verge. Any modifications to the traffic signals at Gugeri Street, Ashton Avenue and Chancellor Street could be reviewed separately as part of the future upgrade to the Ashton Avenue bridge.

Past Resolutions Ordinary Council Meeting 6 August 2013, Resolution 239/13: That Council 1. Supports Black Spot application by the City of Nedlands to;

a) add a right turn pocket from Gugeri St to Loch St without impacting the existing through lanes in both directions b) modify the traffic signal at the intersection of Gugeri Street, Ashton Avenue and Chancellor Street subject to the approval of Main Roads WA to-

i) introduce a green arrow with a green filter during peak times and green filter at other times to turn right from Gugeri Street to Chancellor Street without impacting the existing traffic lanes/road layout, ii) ban right turn from Gugeri Street to Ashton Avenue during peak times only,

2. If successful, a) makes provision in the 2014-15 Budget for 50% share of the cost above grant funding b) inform immediately affected properties by a letter and public via the local media and advanced on road notices (to remain at least for three months).

13.3.2 SHARED PATH ON THE SOUTH SIDE VERGE OF PRINCESS ROAD - BAY ROAD TO GOLDSWORTHY ROAD

File Ref: RDS/00233 Attachments: Proposed Location of Shared Path on Princess Road Responsible Officer: Saba Kirupananther

Executive Manager Infrastructure Author: Margaret Brophy

Asset Technical Services Officer Proposed Meeting Date: 16 August 2015

Purpose For Council to consider funding a shared path on the south side verge of Princess Road between Bay Road and Goldsworthy Road, mainly for students accessing University of WA (UWA) Claremont Campus and Taylors College in Claremont.

Background There are 600 to 900 overseas students attending language and other courses at the UWA Campus and Taylors College in Claremont. Most of these students use public transport and walk down Bay Road or Goldsworthy Road or Bay View Terrace (and Claremont Park) to Princess Road. There is no footpath on the south side of Princess Road between Bay Road and Goldsworthy Road. The students, arrive from either the bus stops on Stirling Highway or Claremont train station in groups and have been observed not watching for cars and walking along the south side of the traffic lane in Princess Road between Bay Road and Goldsworthy Road in groups occupying part of the westerly traffic lane. A request has been received from the Director’s office of the Campus to assist with this issue. The campus is currently implementing a road safety awareness program and will consider improved signage.

Discussion Princess Road is classified as a Local Distributor by Main Roads WA with 4,000 vehicles per day. In the Footpath Asset Management Plan the Level of Service specifies footpaths on both sides for Distributor roads. This section on the south side of Princess Road between Bay Road and Goldsworthy Road is a missing link in the footpath network. Princess Road is a bus route with a bus stop in this block so a path would serve the wider community. There is also a public phone booth at the corner with Goldsworthy Road not connected to a footpath. The 1.5m footpath adjacent to the property boundary on the north side of Princess Road has vehicle exits for homes, whereas the verge on the south side has only two entry points both to the car park. The verge width allows for a 3m shared path which

suits the pedestrians who walk abreast, in addition to cyclists who are now able to utilise footpaths.

Past Resolutions There are no past resolutions directly relevant to this item.

Financial and Staff Implications There are no current resources allocated, will need to be considered as part of next budgetary process. The cost estimate is $50,000. Subject to Council approval, funding of $27,936 is available under “Remove various slab footpaths” and $22,000 is available under “Freshwater Pde on road cycle lane between Victoria Ave and Queenslea Dr” from 2015-16 carry forward budget.

Policy and Statutory Implications Footpath Asset Management Plan. Footpath Policy.

Communication / Consultation There are no residents adjacent to the proposed path but residents on the opposite side of Princess Road and UWA campus and Taylors College will be advised when works are scheduled.

Strategic Community Plan Liveability


• Clean, usable, attractive, accessible streetscapes and public open spaces.

• Maintain and upgrade infrastructure for seamless day to day usage.

Urgency Early Council decision will allow to commence work without further delay.

Voting Requirements Absolute majority decision of Council required.

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION That Council approves the allocation of $49,936 from the 2015-16 carry forward budget available under “Remove various slab footpaths” and “Freshwater Parade on road cycle lane between Victoria Avenue and Queenslea Drive,” for the construction of a shared path on the south side of Princess Road between Goldsworthy and Bay Roads.
