BACKGROUND

At the Extraordinary Council Meeting on 19 May 2016 the Administrator resolved to provide one beach parking permit for the northern beaches community. Pursuant to this, there is a requirement to harmonise the existing beach parking policies, which in general were all very similar. Residents displaying a beach parking permit will have free parking at over 40 locations on the northern beaches.

The NBBPPS primarily sets out to:

• Establish equitable allocation consistent with the needs of the community

• Provide guidelines for additional and replacement permits

• Identify eligibility of volunteer community groups

• Notify locations were permits are valid.

Council is seeking to implement a policy that will determine the criteria and eligibility in which beach parking permits are issued across the whole of the northern beaches.

CONSULTATION

The relevant staff from the three former councils were consulted to harmonise the existing policies into this draft NBBPPSP. This policy will replace the three former Council’s beach parking permit policies, which will be rescinded once this policy is adopted.

• Former Warringah Council Policy No. CS - PL 01 - Parking Permits

• Former Pittwater Council No 18 – Parking - Issue Of Annual Permits - Waiving Of Parking Fees.

• Former Manly Council MC 13 119756 Terms and Conditions - Digital Parking Permits

This draft policy will be exhibited to the public for a period of 28 days and the results reported back to Council.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Changes to the Parking Permit Scheme have been budgeted for in the 2016/17 Operational Plan.

SOCIAL IMPACT

The NBBPPSP will ensure Council staff have a framework for determining the criteria and eligibility for the allocation of parking permits.
