The Greater Dandenong Municipal Parking Strategy
Council manages parking in accordance with its Municipal Parking Strategy, that was developed in 2017 following extensive consultation with the community. The Greater Dandenong Municipal Parking Strategy 2017-27 was endorsed by Council on 11 September 2017.
The strategy aims to ensure the management of parking gives appropriate consideration to the needs of the entire community.
This strategy identifies the parking objectives in key community areas such as; activity centres, residential areas, local shopping strips, places of assembly, schools, industrial areas, health and tertiary education areas and stations. Parking will be managed to address the needs of the key stakeholders identified for each area.
