Reform is needed Parking in multi-unit blocks

• Parking should be fixed to the ground in recognition of the rise in use of heavier e-bikes and longer cargo e-bikes, and that women and older people are less likely to want to lift bikes. [...] In the guidelines it set for the redevelopment of the Perth Girls School, for example, it recommended 2 parks per apartment as well as end-of-trip facilities for at least 10 bike parks: The City of Sydney requires 1 bike space per dwelling under Section 3 of the General Provisions of the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012. [...] The same section also recommends visitor and employee bike parking numbers for different land uses and the three security classes for bike parking as in the Austroads report on bicycle parking. [...] Response to Case Studies • Victorian Sustainable Subdivision Framework We support the recommendation of continuous pedestrian and cycling networks – our submissions to the review of the Tasmanian Planning Policies and State Planning Provisions called for cycling pathways to be included on all new roads. [...] This is a good start but we’d expect more detail in the Tasmanian version, including the number of bicycle parking spaces to be provided and other elements of good design we’ve outlined earlier in the submission.
