Waverley council area in Australia has had zero parking minimums since 2018. I interviewed Sara Stace to find out more. Two keys to Waverley's success in nixing its parking minimums with little fuss seem to be:
- Before the decision, Waverley already had some experience with parking minimums set to zero in certain parts of the area. Data on the results of this reassured the councillors.
- The proposal for zero parking minimums across the whole council was also part of a broadly popular urban mobility strategy, the Waverley People, Movement and Places strategy, which is the council’s ambitious plan to prioritise walking, cycling, public transport and shared mobility.
