COUNCIL MEETING CHURCH POINT PARKING DECISION DECEMBER 16

Following a Rescission Motion by Julie Hegarty, the decision about Church Point Parking will again be debated at a Council Meeting on Monday, December 16 6.30pm at the Mona Vale Community Hall.

Here is the link to the full report and recommendation by Council staff or cut and paste it into your browser

The main recommendation is: “that Option 2 – the single deck carpark that provides scope for 120 car spaces - be adopted”. The other recommendations are also positive and hopefully will help address some additional issues raised by SIRA and other stakeholders.

See the detailed recommendation below:

RECOMMENDATION

That based on the comparison and evaluation of carpark options including Triple Bottom Line Assessment as detailed in this report along with the analysis of the submissions received and the intent of the adopted Plan of Management, that Option 2 – the single deck carpark that provides scope for 120 car spaces - be adopted as the carpark layout to take forward for Precinct 1 at Church Point.
That Council apply to the State Government for LIRS funding for this project. Should the LIRS funding be unsuccessful then a further report be provided to Council on the funding and user pays implications.
That a further report be presented on transport options, resident parking scheme, availability of parking stickers and other mechanisms to reduce parking demand at Church Point for consideration by Council.
That the Design Group be thanked for its assistance in this process.
That a detailed Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and Part V Assessment be undertaken

THE CHURCH POINT PARKING OFFSHORE SURVEY RESULTS CLEARLY SHOWED THE COMMUNITY’S PREFERENCE FOR OPTION 2.

WE URGE ALL RESIDENTS TO ATTEND THIS SECOND MEETING WHERE A DECISION IS EXPECTED TO BE MADE. YOUR PRESENCE AND SUPPORT OF THE RECOMMENDATION IS VITAL.
