Maylands Parking Strategy - Ninth Avenue

We want to hear from local residents and businesses about proposed time restrictions for on-street parking on Ninth Avenue, between Whatley Crescent and Guildford Road.

Background

The Maylands Town Centre Car Parking Strategy was adopted by Council in April 2018, following extensive community consultation. The City has an ongoing program of works implementing the recommendations of the Strategy funded by developer contributions in Maylands.

The Strategy recommends a mix of 15 minute, 2 hour and 3 hour time limits for the area of the town centre bound by Ninth Avenue, Guildford Road, Seventh Avenue and Whatley Crescent.

In 2019 the City constructed parking bays in the verge of Ninth Avenue near the corner of Whatley Crescent, and in 2020 we engaged with businesses and local residents to understand preferences for parking time restrictions for Ninth Avenue. There was strong support at the time for 3 hour time limits. Click here for engagement outcomes.

Due to the proximity of Ninth Avenue to Maylands Station and the lack of time restrictions in place, local residents and businesses have identified that this area is often used by all-day commuters, reducing the amount of parking available for town centre customers and visitors.

What the City is doing

In support of town centre visitation and in accordance with previous business and community consultation, the City is now planning to install time restriction signage for Ninth Avenue between Whatley Crescent and Guildford Road, with the following proposed:

  • A 3 hour time limit between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. This is intended to discourage long-term commuter parking while still allowing sufficient time for patrons and visitors to access town centre businesses and residences;
  • Parking permitted on one side of the street only in areas where road width is limited, to ensure a safe and consistent flow of traffic;
  • Yellow "No Stopping" line marking at intersections to clarify locations where parking is already prohibited under the Road Traffic Code.

Please see the plan attached which illustrates the proposed changes.

How to get involved

Complete the form below to indicate your level of support for the proposal.

Submissions close Monday 14 July 2025.

Next steps

Following the engagement period, the City will consider all submissions prior to finalising the plan. Affected residents and businesses will be informed of the outcome, and new signage will be installed as soon as works can be scheduled.
