The proposed DRAFT Residential Parking Permit Policy was discussed in depth at the recent Precinct meeting on October 14.
The meeting was unanimous in stating the method of communication by the City of Fremantle re the change in Residents Parking Permit Policy was deeply flawed. It failed to succinctly inform residents of what impact the changes would have on them.
Example the Policy document stated – on street parking permits would not be permitted anytime within the pink zone (CBD)
Whereas the FAQs stated “could I still use my Residents Parking Permit in the Fremantle CBD?”
Answer – “yes this permit will continue to be available to all residents”
Just what is the real answer?
Most agreed that it was inevitable in CBD areas, as parking becomes scarcer for visitors, there would be more (timed) parking restrictions imposed, Fremantle is no different to Subiaco, West Leederville or Mount Lawley. Transient workers (train passengers) and workers in inner Fremantle are able to take advantage of the unrestricted parking zones at the expense of visitors.
However what is not discussed/proposed is what changes to the public transport system will provide additional benefits to residents to replace their dependence on driving into Fremantle.
Just how are residents going to attend to Tuesday Movie nights if they cannot park their vehicles for free in Fremantle? Say hello to Garden City Cinemas!!
All agreed that stricter timed parking should not be imposed on Fremantle residents in the blue and in particular the green zones and we discouraged the addition of paid parking in these zones.
Local business owners might agree to changes proposed i.e. increasing timed parking zones, but “(residential) rate payers”, would not agree.
Some meeting members saw the policy as nothing more than revenue raising exercise and the rollout across the City in changing street signs across the City will run into the tens of thousands of dollars which can only be covered by increase in rates.
Since the release of the Policy and the subsequent expiry of the submission period very little has been heard. Maybe it has “timed out”
This policy will be debated heavily prior to any rollout

Submission close date: 13/10/2014
The City is reviewing parking permits in Fremantle and proposing a number of changes.

This new initiative will affect ALL residents not just CBD residents

The City would appreciate your feedback via a survey, which is open until 13 October 2014.
What’s proposed?
The policy proposes new parking zones with different parking permit entitlements for residents. The number of residential and multi-purpose parking permits residents are entitled would depend on the zone they live in. New parking time restrictions are also proposed for some zones.

In summary, the main changes proposed are:
• Pink zone CBD – residential or multi-purpose parking permits would not be provided to residents in this area. Time limited parking restrictions would remain in place.
• Blue zone – outer CBD: Introducing two hour parking to streets which are currently unrestricted with provision for permit holders to park on the street. Provision for two residential and one multi-purpose parking permits per household.
• Green zone – OUTER SUBURBS: Provision for two residential and two multi-purpose permits per household. Any future request for time restricted street parking in this zone would be for a maximum of 4 hours

Why is the City of Fremantle proposing to change the parking permit policy?
The City of Fremantle is undertaking a review of the parking permit policy to improve how we manage parking in the City. The review has come about as a result of a need to:
• respond to the challenge of the limited physical capacity to provide parking or road space for all of Fremantle’s residents, workers, students and visitors. As the city continues to grow, the pressure on street parking increases.

All Welcome to attend Next meeting. Enjoy the social outing – wine and cheese to taste
Topic for Debate
Following public outrage by locals and police raids, the poorly named “Beacy Bronks” went quiet with no criminal activity reported.
Unfortunately a week later 14 incidents were reported including 10 homes burgled.
What is going on???

Please come along and join the members in sampling some elegant wine and cheese and bikkies and at the same time have a free flowing discussion on Fremantle events, issues and general chit chat. We even get our Elected Members dropping by for some stimulating conversation. We may even see our Mayor come along

Every 2 x months Tuesdays at Winterfold Primary School, Annie Street at 7.30

Beaconsfield is generally one of the the most enthusiastic Wards when voting in Local Government elections, so please do make that little effort
