This consultation has concluded - thank you to those who took part.

This survey now closed - thank you to those who provided feedback, opinions and suggestions.

It is time for the City to review its Central Subiaco Precinct Parking Plan and we invite you to provide your feedback.

The current Central Subiaco Precinct Parking Plan was endorsed by Council in 2019. Since then parking controls throughout the Central Parking Precinct have been largely effective, however further refinements are required to adapt to changes in the area such as the removal of all day parking immediately adjacent to King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) and increased business activity near Duke Street.

The boundaries of the Central Subiaco Parking Precinct are established by the south side of Bagot Road from Railway Road to Thomas Street, Thomas Street to Nicholson Road, the north side of Nicholson Road from Thomas Street to Railway Road and the east side of Railway Road from Nicholson Road to Bagot Road (see map).

The draft 2024 Central Subiaco Precinct Parking Plan which shows the proposed parking conditions can be viewed in the document library. This plan has been developed to provide a parking control model that is appropriate for the mix of users in locality , empathetic towards the needs of the community and in line with City principles.

A table of proposed parking refinements and reasoning for these proposed changes, can be viewed in the project document library.

The key changes of the plan are:

  • Lowering the time restriction on residential streets surrounding King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) from 2P to 1P, including Lawler Street, Federal Street, Douglas Avenue, Hensman Road and Hamersley Road.
  • Install paid parking with a 3P (first hour free) on Duke Street between Rokeby Road and the cul-de-sac.
  • Reduce the 2P control on Duke Street from the cul-de-sac to Coolgardie Street to 1P.
  • Reduce the 2P control on Coolgardie Street to 1P.
  • Install a Loading Zone on the western side of Rokeby Road between Duke Street and Nicholson Road.
  • Install a Loading Zone on the north side of Bagot Road near the intersection of Railway Road.
  • Remove parking on the northern side of Lawler Street between Railway Road and Federal Street.
  • Reduce the time control on Heytesbury Road from Campbell Street to Rupert Street from 2P to 1P.
  • Extending the 1P control along Rokeby Road to Nicholson Road.

    All-day parking at Stubbs Terrace Car Station 70 will be reduced from $10 to $5 per day as part of changes approved by Council after reviewing its Central Subiaco Parking Precinct Plan.

    Since the plan’s original endorsement by Council in 2019, parking controls throughout the Central Parking Precinct have been largely effective, however, some adjustments are required to adapt to changes in the area.

    The proposed changes seek to address increased business activity near Duke Street and parking congestion on streets surrounding King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH); they were put out to community consultation in July/August, with the majority of respondents being KEMH staff and local residents.

    Consultation showed many KEMH staff expressed concerns over access to affordable all-day parking in the area. The City is responding to this by reducing all-day parking at Stubbs Terrace Car Station 70 from $10 to $5 to attract more hospital workers to park here rather than using nearby residential streets.

    The impact of the parking changes around the hospital will be reviewed in 12 months to assess whether parking permit schemes for patients to KEMH can be extended or developed.

    Other changes approved to increase parking opportunities for motorists and provide more consistent parking measures across the City, include a new loading zone on Bagot Road, and the reduction of 2-hour parking on several streets to 1-hour parking between Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.

    Three-hour paid parking (with first hour free) will also be introduced on Duke Street from Rokeby Road to the cul-de-sac between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

    Parking plans are developed to help balance parking needs of residents and visitors to town centre areas, and help provide convenient and efficient access to local businesses and services while remaining empathetic towards community needs. The overarching principle behind parking management is one of equity.

    To ensure these new changes are working effectively to manage parking in the affected areas, a report will be provided to Council 18 months after the implementation of the Plan summarising community feedback and performance.
