Submission
Do you think the zone has been assigned correctly?
No
What change to the zone would you recommend?
The zone ought be abolished. Requiring payment for parking on Sunday is a backwards step and will guarantee reduced used of both staff and customers.
If it must proceed a one hour free then pay there after type system would be better as it would discourage workers parking in the township without discouraging residents coming into town.
To charge a weekday rate is also stupid and does not encourage people to spend time in city.
Please make it easier for businesses to open in the suburbs so that residents can continue to support local without supporting the DCC.
Do you think the hours of enforcement are appropriate?
No
What change to the hours you would recommend?
I would recommend midnight to 10 minutes past midnight.
Why parking should be paid for up until 6 is mind boggling given most businesses close at 5. This demonstrates the council's disconnectedness with the community they serve.
Are there other changes to restrictions in this area that you think should be considered in the future?
Yes
What changes to the restrictions would you recommend?
DCC vehicles, staff and elected officials should have to pay triple the cost as an inconvenience fee to the rate payers. They should also be required to pay for parking at all times of the day and have their car parks near the council buildings turned into paid parking.
Do you have any other comments about the planned zone for Sunday paid parking?
Maybe get outside and touch the grass and come into a world of reality instead of living in the ivory tower dreamworld you live in.
