Recommendation

It is recommended that the Committee review the reallocation of parking on the eastern side of Ross Street, Glebe between the points 6.5 metres and 18.5 metres (two car spaces) north of Hereford Street as " 4P 8am-8pm Electric Vehicles Only While Charging" and "No Parking Electric Vehicles Excepted While Charging All Other Times".

Advice

The Committee raised no issues with this Item and noted that the City will investigate the parking restrictions in the street. City staff will also forward the request for increased enforcement to the City Rangers.

Background

Council at its meeting on 26 June 2023, resolved to adopt the Electrification of Transport in the City Strategy and Action Plan. The strategy outlines key actions to support this transition, including, advocacy, and actions within the City’s control.

Action 20 of the Strategy outlines that the City will work with private sector providers to trial paid on-street electric vehicle charging in residential areas with constrained private charging opportunities. This should be cost neutral to the City and avoid negative impacts on the public domain and residential amenity.

In collaboration with Ausgrid and EVX who are the charging point operator, the City is proposing to install dedicated on-street parking for charging of electric vehicle using Ausgrid infrastructure
