What is your feedback on the proposed changes
I use this area a lot and love being able to head down to this incredibly beautiful beach area. I also frequent the restaurants for both eat in and take out. I know that to order, wait and/or pick up takeaways takes far longer than 5 minutes so a P5 isn't helpful for anyone in the community. These proposed P5 parks need to either be P10 or P15.
The parks along Second Beach should be P240 for surfers, I notice that it's mostly surfers who park along there and (not being a surfer myself) would think they'd possibly be longer than 2 hours.
I also think the raised car park on the Esplanade should be a P240 but its location should be swapped with the St Clair Reserve behind it and accessed from Bedford St. The Reserve is always empty of people, it would be utilised far more by people for picnics and potential market days etc if the two were swapped around so that the Reserve had beach front views.
I love this area of our city and have a visceral connection to it. I want to see it continue to be a community friendly space for everyone.
