Parking in Werribee City Centre
This Parking Strategy has been prepared to manage parking in the Werribee City Centre and support its growth as a vibrant, people-friendly City Centre that is accessible to all. This iteration of the Parking Strategy is based on the original document adopted by Council in 2019, and has been refreshed in-line with Council’s commitment to review the document every 5 years.
It also incorporates and replaces the Werribee City Centre Parking Precinct Plan adopted by Council in 2014, so that now there is only one strategic parking document for the Werribee City Centre.
Parking Principles
The Werribee City Centre Parking Strategy is based upon the following principles:
- Customers come first in the hierarchy of users
- Walking, cycling and public transport are prioritised above other transport modes
- Disabled parking and loading are to be well catered for
- Premium short-stay public parking in the Central Precinct is to be for customers
- Longer-stay off-street public parking is to be located in Premium Parking Facilities and in the Perimeter Precincts
- It is reasonable for long-stay parking users to walk up to 7.5 minutes (500 metres) from where they park their car to their primary destination
- Public parking in Perimeter Precincts and outer surrounding areas is to be shared between users
- Fees will not be charged for short-stay public parking, while a small fee may be charged for off-street longer stay public parking to reflect its premium value
- Free all day public parking is to be provided in City Fringe areas
- Parking rules will be enforced so that the public parking system operates as designed.
- Technology may be used to efficiently manage parking.
