CITY of Ballarat is launching the first stage of its Smarter Parking Plan.<\/p>\n
The area within Ripon, Eyre, Princes, and Mill and Seymour streets comprises Zone 2 and will have new parking configurations rolled out over the next few months.<\/p>\n
There will be a combination of free, time restricted and all-day car parking.<\/p>\n
Residents in the 200 block of Lyons Street North, will be the first to receive letters outlining their street\u2019s parking configuration as part of stage one.<\/p>\n
They will have a week to register any concerns and to meet with council\u2019s parking staff if required to address any issues.<\/p>\n
New parking signs will start to be erected in the street within four weeks of delivering the notification letters.<\/p>\n
Each household will receive a free Residential Parking Permit which will allow them to park free in any parking space near their house, excluding bus zones, loading bays and no stopping zones.<\/p>\n
Some may qualify for a second free permit while a third permit may be issued subject to strict criteria for an annual fee of $100.<\/p>\n
All current permits will be cancelled and a three-month grace period from July 1 provided for new permits to be issued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
