We are proposing changes to parking restrictions in the Mornington Major Activity Centre, in line with the recommendations from the Mornington Parking Precinct Plan. This plan seeks to ensure that parking within the major activity centre services the diverse needs of locals, workers, and visitors by improving parking availability and traffic management.
Key recommendations from the Parking Precinct Plan include improving parking restrictions in high-demand areas, upgrading wayfinding signage for drivers, and improving the accessibility of car parking. As part of this process, we are inviting feedback on a series of potential changes to parking restrictions in Main Street and surrounding streets and off-street carparks. Options currently under review include extending the hours of existing 1/4P, 1/2P, and 1P parking restrictions on Main Street to operate from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Sunday, as well as the possible conversion of 22 existing 1P spaces to 1/2P during these times.
Council is also proposing similar extensions to parking restrictions on Ross Street, Queen Street, Vancouver Street, Railway Grove, Blake Street, Albert Street, and Octavia Street. Adjustments are also being considered for key loading zones, no-standing areas, Barrett Lane, and Cromwell Street, which may see changes to time limits and hours of operation. In addition, we are evaluating the conversion of 103 parking spaces within carparks adjacent to Main Street to 2P restrictions, Monday to Sunday. This would involve spaces in the Vancouver Street, Queen & Albert Street, Albert & Empire Street, and Empire & Barkly Street carparks. The extension of 2P restrictions in the existing Mornington Central carpark, as well as in the Barkly Street & Barrett Lane sealed carpark, is also being assessed.
