Session Title: Parking Minimums
Format: Discussion
Presenter Name: Lachlan Burke (Movement and Place Consulting)
Summary
Parking minimums are set by the council and are resisted by the business owner.
Parking is most of the time provided more than requirements.
Making people use active transport would make parking opportunities for the people with issues.
We need some kind of management if accessibility is being impacted by the lack of parking. The car parking minimums have also made some businesses apply for waivers to their complexity and expense for small businesses.
