ABOUT THE COUNCIL
Stretching from Palm Beach to Manly, the Northern Beaches boasts more than half of all the beaches in Sydney and a population of more than 266,000. The Council is committed to maintaining a high level of customer service to the local community.
Northern Beaches Council is working closely with the community to build strategies that enhance our quality of life, promote sustainable development and protect our environment.
Council's adopted Move Northern Beaches Transport Strategy' Smart Parking Management objective is to manage car parking in a way that is equitable and supports the economic viability of centres and boosts sustainable public transport and active travel use.
Our transport vision is to "enable freedom of movement to, from and within the Northern Beaches using a safe, smart, efficient, integrated and sustainable transport network".
Council has the responsibility of managing parking for 101,652 passenger vehicles registered to addresses across the LGA as well as managing parking to accommodate the large number of employees, tourists and visitors. Manly is the primary destination for visitors to the LGA.
Council has 44 paid parking carparks that account for over 5,000 car parking spaces located at beaches and foreshore locations.
Parking is one of our most discussed topics across the Northern Beaches. As we move towards a population increase of 15% over the next twenty years to 312,502 by 2041, parking management will continue to be a challenge for Council. Through improved parking infrastructure and services, only then can Council meet the objectives detailed in Move Northern Beaches Transport Strategy and the Northern Beaches Parking Plan (draft and under development).
Improved smart parking technology will provide Council with an opportunity to capture occupancy and turnover data throughout the nominated locations. Data captured will be used to better understand parking occupancy and turnover to ensure evidence-based decisions are made relating to parking conditions.
