Timed parking will be introduced in selected areas of Dunwich in June to address issues with long-term vehicle parking around the two ferry terminals.

The decision by Redland City Council follows extensive community consultation, where feedback from residents and stakeholders was considered.

Mayor Jos Mitchell said long-term vehicle parking in streets surrounding the ferry terminals had been a challenge for the community for many years.

“Since becoming Mayor, it’s been brought to my attention that some vehicles are parked for weeks and months near the ferry terminals to accommodate seasonal or occasional visitors for private holiday and rental homes,” she said.

“I’ve also been made aware that many of these vehicles are parked illegally, for example on nature strips and on footpaths where they impede pedestrian traffic and potentially damage underground infrastructure.

“Vehicles are also parked for long periods along the foreshore, which affects the amenity and the community’s enjoyment in this area.

“The introduction of timed parking in selected streets aims to address these issues, maximising the use and community benefit of available parking opportunities and preserving the natural beauty of the foreshore.”

The changes will see timed parking limits of 12, 24 or 72 hours in the streets surrounding the One Mile Ferry Terminal off Yabby Street and Dunwich Ferry Terminal off Junner Street.

Signs indicating ‘No parking’ will also be installed on Mitchell Crescent between Pamphlet Street and Bingle Road.

The new timed parking signs are scheduled to be installed in the week beginning Monday 17 June 2024.

Vehicles parked in the designated areas will have until Sunday 7 July to adjust to the changes without risk of being fined. The new time limits will be enforced from Monday 8 July.

Division 2 Councillor Peter Mitchell said the parking changes aimed to create fair access for the whole community.

“Council wants to provide a solution that supports an appropriate turnaround for local traffic in these busy areas,” he said.

“We also want to ensure there is sufficient parking availability near businesses and convenient access for tourists to reach attractions and accommodation.

“Council will closely monitor the implementation of timed parking to assess its effectiveness.”

In late 2023, Council introduced a four-hour parking limit at Dunwich Cemetery to prevent all-day parking and to allow parking for legitimate short-term use.

Council encourages drivers to ensure they park in accordance with all parking signs.

More information on the timed parking project, including FAQs, is available on Council’s Your Say page.
