Proposal for timed parking at Dunwich and the One Mile ferry terminal, North Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah
Redland City Council (Council) sought feedback from the North Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah community on a proposal for timed parking at Dunwich and the One Mile ferry terminal from Monday June 26 to Sunday July 23 2023.
The project is designed to balance the preservation of the area's natural beauty and environmental and cultural values with the need to improve parking. By seeking your ideas on solutions, we aim to create fair access for the whole community and maximize the use and community benefit of available parking opportunities.
Community feedback has helped inform the Council's consideration for and decision-making on timed parking at key Dunwich locations. The parking measures are designed to help improve community parking access, eliminate long-term informal parking, reduce public car parking for private vehicle storage, encourage increased use of existing car parks, improve foreshore amenity and preserve cultural heritage sites.
During the consultation phase, Council also sought comments on a proposed amendment to Subordinate Local Law No. 5 (Parking) 2015 to introduce a two-hour parking limit at the Dunwich Cemetery parking area to remove informal parking from and protect this culturally sensitive site.
The parking changes at Dunwich Cemetery is now limited to a maximum of four hours based on community feedback that a two-hour limit would not suffice to accommodate visitors.
