Help to shape the future of the City of Canning

Notice is hereby given that the local government of the City of Canning has prepared a ‘Payment in Lieu of Parking Plan’ (Parking Plan) and amended LP.08 ‘Cash-in-Lieu for Parking in the Centre zone’ for public consultation.

On 18 July 2023, Council considered a report on the proposals, and resolved to endorse them for public consultation (Council Decision CD-011-23). This proposal is being advertised for public comment in accordance with the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

You are invited to share your thoughts on this proposal.

What is "payment in lieu for car parking"?

Payment in lieu (also called cash-in-lieu) for car parking refers to a payment made by a developer “in lieu” of providing the minimum number of on-site car parking spaces specified in the City’s planning framework. Local governments can use the funds generated from these payments to construct additional shared public parking for a particular area, or it can be used for initiatives such as new footpaths, cycling infrastructure, improved public transport and other appropriate community benefits.

Why has the City created a Parking Plan, and why is it required?

The City’s collection of payment in lieu contributions for car parking shortfalls was previously governed by a local planning policy – ‘LP.08 Cash-in-Lieu for Parking in the Centre zone’. However, recent State Government planning reforms introduced the requirement for local governments to prepare Parking Plans in order to continue applying payment in lieu of parking conditions for car parking shortfalls.

This means that LP.08 is now no longer the proper planning instrument to govern the collection of payment in lieu for car parking shortfalls, since the Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) requirement for Parking Plans to be created was introduced.

The requirement for Parking Plans was introduced by the WAPC to standardise how local governments collect payment in lieu for car parking, in order to create certainty and transparency for all parties in the assessment of Development Applications.

Accordingly, to enable the City to continue applying payment in lieu conditions for car parking shortfalls, we have now prepared a Parking Plan for public consultation (and for Council’s adoption after).

What kind of land uses/developments would the Parking Plan apply to?

The Parking Plan applies to non-residential uses and the residential visitor parking components in Development Applications that do not comply with the City’s minimum car parking requirements. It replaces the provision of car parking spaces with payment in lieu contributions.

Will the payment in lieu option be the default option for developers?

The payment in lieu for car parking shortfalls option will not be the default option for developers. Developers are under the obligation to cater for the parking demand generated by their projects. The City is not obliged to accept a payment in lieu contribution if it is practicable and desirable to provide the required number of car parking spaces on-site.

Payment in lieu of parking conditions are only applied after the City has explored alternative options, and is considered a last option where it can be demonstrated that physical constraints or other site-specific factors make it unfeasible or impossible to provide the required bays.

Where can I find more information about the proposal?
