The Pakington Street (Geelong West) Public Parking Plan is now finalised after minor changes have been made as a result of the community engagement. The Final Parking Plan and Engagement Report can be found in the document library.
We are seeking community and stakeholder feedback on the Draft Pakington Street (Geelong West) Public Parking Plan. This parking plan has been drafted in response to feedback received in 2022 from business owners, traders and the broader community.
The Pakington Street and Gordon Avenue Urban Design Framework (UDF) includes an action to prepare a Public Parking Plan for the Pakington Street North and Heritage Core Precincts (see the study area map above the Timeline).
The parking plan analyses the parking conditions and needs of an area and provides recommendations to increase turn over
and availability of existing public parking.
The Draft Pakington Street (Geelong West) Public Parking Plan aims to:
The engagement outcome will inform the Final Pakington Street (Geelong West) Public Parking Plan. The final plan will be provided to Council for information in late 2023. Funding for the implementation of the plan will be considered as part of Council’s future resource planning and annual budget planning process.
The aim of the Pakington Street Public Parking Plan is to work with Pakington Street businesses and the broader community to understand how we can better manage existing public parking spaces, ensuring they cater for the needs of businesses, local community and visitors.
The scope of the Public Parking Plan includes:
The scope of the Public Parking Plan does not include:
As the Parking Plan was not completed before the end of financial year, the implementation could not be considered in the budget for 2023-2024. Funding will be considered as part of Council’s future resource planning and annual budget planning process.
Community and stakeholder engagement was undertaken in February and March 2022 to explore parking needs and issues in the area. The community engagement findings report can be accessed using this link. The community's main concern was around parking availability which the proposed Parking Plan will address through recommended parking control changes to increase turn over and availability.
In May and June 2022, the City ran two workshops with the local businesses and traders to seek input into public parking issues and needs. You can access the Traders Engagement Summary Report using this link.
The first workshop focused on discussing customer experience, current parking issues and opportunities.
The second workshop summarised the analysis to date, sought additional solutions and prioritised actions.
Trader engagement identified the need to:

A Public Parking Plan is a document that identifies the car parking needs and issues of a specific study area. The Plan will set out objectives to address identified parking issues and needs and how they can be achieved.
The Final Pakington Street and Gordon Avenue Urban Design Framework (UDF) includes an action for preparing a Public Parking Plan for Pakington North and Heritage Core Precincts.
It is important to address the potential change to parking needs resulting from new developments in the area. At the same time this is an opportunity to address existing issues and projected future trends in relation to parking servicing businesses on Pakington Street.
The study area consists the Heritage Core and Pakington North Precincts as outlined in the Final Pakington Street (Geelong West) and Gordon Avenue UDF. The boundaries of the two precincts are outlined on the study area map which can be found on the Have Your Say Page.
The Public Parking Plan aims to improve the management of existing car parking spaces along Pakington Street. The desired outcome would see a more accessible parking experience for patrons of Pakington Street Businesses.
The project aims to focus on public on-street car parking spaces. It is not within the scope of this project to address issues with private car parking.
The project only focuses on existing public car parking spaces servicing businesses on Pakington Street and public car parking spaces in residential areas are outside the scope of this study but will be considered in future studies as addressed in the final UDF.
Providing additional car parking is not within the scope of this Public Parking Plan. Our aim is to improve management of existing car parking spaces (through restriction changes, etc) and ensure they suit the needs of businesses and their patrons.
Recommendations will focus on how we control the way parking is used along Pakington Street through measures such as time limits, time of day/week controls and user type limitations. The parameters can be adjusted to create the most effective outcome for each precinct or different sections.
The availability of longer stay car parking servicing businesses along Pakington Street may reduce. The number of on-street car parking along Pakington Street available at any time should increase.
