Mark Eriksson, Landscape Architect Principal Officer 8am to 5:30pm Monday - Thursday, 8am to 5pm Friday Phone 9970 1356 Mobile 0417 219 541 July 2010 Dear Resident Re: Introduction of Parking Permit for Offshore Residents After many years of negotiation between the Land & Property Management Authority (formerly Department of Lands), offshore residents, onshore residents, commercial operators and Council, the Plan of Management (PoM) for Church Point was adopted on 16 November 2009. A clearly identified strategy in the PoM was the recognition of the Church Point Reserve carpark being the property of the Crown and the need for the land to accommodate parking for offshore residents. A lease for the ongoing use of the area for the purpose of car parking will be agreed to by the Crown. Council will be appointed Trustee of the reserve and generally manage the precinct as identified in the PoM as a whole. In order to create further parking opportunities and manage the precinct for offshore residents, capital works programs have been developed and will, in part, require Council borrowing funds. Repayment of these funds will be through ‘user pays’ fees for use of the reserve and precinct by offshore residents. As of 31 August 2010, the Pittwater sticker issued to all ratepayers within Pittwater will no longer permit you to park at Church Point (precinct as identified in the PoM). Offshore residents wishing to park at Church Point Reserve Carpark and the road precinct to the west, including the western carpark on McCarrs Creek Road, will need to purchase an annual parking permit from Pittwater Council or will need to pay for parking through the purchase of temporary parking permits through allocated pay and display ticket machines installed throughout the precinct. Permits, as issued by Council, will enable offshore residents to park within the Church Point Reserve Carpark and allocated areas throughout the precinct but not entitle residents to an allocated car space. Permits will be allocated by Council to any offshore resident providing proof of residency, ie driver’s licence. A Council website will be created to allow early and ongoing registration of residents within the scheme. Payment for permits will need to be made at Mona Vale Customer Service Centre, Village Park, Mona Vale. As part of the Crown ownership of the reserve, all funds collected from the parking scheme must be retained and managed by Council in accordance with the financial plan as outlined in the adopted PoM. As such, all fees collected by way of the parking permit system, through the pay & display ticket machines and any fines issued, will be placed in a stand-alone fund to be expressly used for improvements to the area as outlined in the PoM. Council urges all residents to become aware of the adopted PoM and Council’s intention to provide further parking for offshore residents on the proviso it is provided for on a 'user pays' system. As per the PoM, the annual fee of $275 is put forward by Council based on the premise of an above ground, tiered deck being built above the McCarrs Creek Road parking infill. Should the tiered/deck not proceed, the cost of allocated permits will need to be increased to the price as outlined in the adopted PoM to $575 (indexed accordingly). The construction of the tiered carpark is yet to be confirmed by either the community or Council but needs to be clearly identified as a financial consideration in the financial management of the precinct. Please find below a basic information sheet outlining rules and regulations for the permit parking arrangements on Church Point Reserve and throughout the Church Point Precinct. Should you wish to discuss any of the issues raised, or seek further clarification, please contact Mark Eriksson, Pittwater Council’s Principal Officer – Landscape Architect on 9970 1356 or Les Munn, Pittwater Council’s Manager – Reserves, Recreation & Building Services on 9970 1354. Yours faithfully Mark Ferguson GENERAL MANAGER Church Point Parking Permit System
