Growth in vehicles – WA

• Registered passenger vehicles in WA- 2010 1,369,133- 2015 1,566,574

• An increase of 2.8% per year• Additional 39,488 vehicles per year • Assuming Perth represents 70% of WA’s population,

additional 532 cars per week, every week, need parking • Not just one space - at work, at home, at shops, movies,

events, schools

Cost to provide parking

At grade• A surface car park requires minimum 25m2 per bay• Assume a minimum land value of $1000 - land cost is

$25,000• Construction cost is $3,000• Each 50 bays represents a cost of >$1.4m

Deck parking• Construction cost of off-street bays in deck car park is

>$39,000• Each 100 bay deck car park will cost >$3.9 million PLUS

the cost of land

It is quicker, more flexible and less expensive to make better use of existing parking capacity, than to create additional parking

Typical activity centres• Mix of commercial, retail, hospitality, medical, service,

residential, education • Multiple combinations of parking generators: residents, visitors,

shoppers, diners, employees, commuters, cyclists

• Five principles should underlie parking and access strategy:1. Focus on people access not vehicle access2. Provide efficient and effective alternatives to car access 3. Parking policy and strategy must support sustainable

transport4. The appropriate amount of parking for a centre will be well

below the unconstrained demand for parking5. The provision of parking requires a demand management,

not a demand satisfaction approach

6

Parking must be managed as part of an integrated transport strategy for Guildford

Some initial observations of parking and access for Guildford

• Minimum way finding• Unclear signage• Availability not indicated• Drivers encouraged to cruise around

hunting for a vacant space• Poor pedestrian access on

some major roads• School access

How do we make more effective use of all existing capacity
