Home > Our Services > Parking, Traffic & Vehicles > On-Street Parking Guidelines

The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters manages parking in the local area to balance the needs of a wide range of users including residents, businesses and shoppers.

Document name update: Originally adopted by the Council as the On-Street Parking Policy, the Policy was changed to a Guidelines document by resolution of the Council at its meeting held on 4 August 2026, as it reflects the Council’s Policy position with respect to the management of on-street parking but also includes guiding information about how the Council will assess the prioritisation of parking in different precincts.

On-Street Parking Guidelines

The Guidelines aims to

  • Provide fair and equitable access to on-street parking
  • Optimise the use of on-street parking to best meet the needs of users
  • Ensure the management of on-street parking is clear, transparent and equitable.

How the Guidelines are being implemented

The Council is implementing the On-Street Parking Guidelines across the city on a precinct-by-precinct basis.

This is a significant program that will be delivered progressively over several years.

The implementation process includes:

  • Reviewing parking-related concerns and requests raised by the community
  • Undertaking parking demand surveys to understand how parking is used at different times of the day and by different user groups, including residents, employees, shoppers and public transport commuters
  • Preparing recommendations for parking controls and time limits where changes are required
  • Consulting with the community in each precinct to refine recommendations and identify the most appropriate outcomes
  • Installing new or updated parking controls, then monitoring and evaluating their effectiveness.
