This is Disgrace ... Tactic to impose a new tax for .. I think we all should standup now or it’s too late !!
For the record on 11 December 2019 six Moreland Councillors voted for parking changes - the 1st of its kind in Victoria.
What’s even more interesting is there is 1 Councillor on this list who doesn’t even live in the City of Moreland (hasn’t for more than 7 years). He lives in Essendon - the City of Moonee Valley.
1. Residents that live within 200 Metres from an Activity Centre (shopping precinct/train station) anywhere in Moreland must apply for a parking permit to park infront of their home.
2. Cost of a permit is $41.20 for the 1st and $116.50 for the 2nd permit. If you have a DRIVEWAY or CROSSOVER you’re only allowed 1 permit.
3. Residents of properties SUBDIVIDED AFTER August 2011 CANNOT apply for a permit.
4. If you’re a business, sports facility or school (child care/kindergarten, primary/secondary) - the cost for the 1st permit is $131.10 and 2nd permit $196.70 (businesses are allowed 5 permits per business up to June 2021).
5. Permit fees will INCREASE every year.
6. You and or your visitors can only park for 2 hours without a permit. So they have to leave after 2 hours or move their cars.
7. Developers DON’T need to provide parking spaces in NEW apartments.
8. This is a crack down on car use in Moreland and whoever drives or owns a car is being punished!
