                    Parking improvement works

                    Kerbside parking space across the City of Melbourne is in increasingly high demand and used in different ways – that’s why we’ve worked with the community and businesses to build a plan and get the balance right.

                    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Starting mid-2023, we began installing clearer signs with new parking conditions throughout the central city. We’re now working to install parking improvements in other neighbourhoods across the municipality.

                    What to expect while we work: 

                    While we install new parking signs, meters, line markings and other assets to roll-out the improved parking conditions in a neighbourhood, we’ll minimise disruption and keep as many parking spaces available as possible:

                    • Work hours will be 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday.  
                    • Temporary ‘No Stopping’ signs will be put up in work areas to keep them clear of public vehicles and allow our contractors to do this work quickly. 
                    • We’ll maintain pedestrian and vehicle access at all times while works are underway. 
                    • We’ll notify residents and businesses before works start.  

                    Learn more about how we’re making parking simpler and fairer.  

                    Always check the signs when you park to understand what restrictions apply.

                    Southbank and Botanic Gardens

                    Parking improvement works are expected to begin in mid-March and be completed by Q3 2024.

                    The parking conditions on each street will be officially changed as soon as signs are visible on that street.

                    The parking plans below detail the parking changes in each block of streets.​

                    The roll-out of improved parking conditions in the central city was completed in March 2024.

                    Works started in section one on the map below from late-July 2023. The parking plans below detail the parking changes in each block of streets.

                    Changes to clearways

                    As part of our works to install clearer signs with new parking conditions, we’ve also simplified the traffic conditions for CBD clearways:

                    • Flinders Street (between Spencer and Russell streets). We’ve removed this clearway section because it was no longer needed. ‘No stopping’ areas remain in sections of Flinders Street to support peak periods.
                    • Spencer Street. We’ve removed a section of the northbound clearway (between Flinders and Collins streets) to accommodate current road conditions and changes to bus operation.
                    • Lonsdale Street (between Spencer and Spring streets). We’ve changed the clearway operating times to 7am to 10am Monday to Friday (westbound), and 4pm to 7pm Monday to Friday (eastbound).
                    • ​Queen Street (between Lonsdale and Flinders streets). We’ve changed the PM clearway operating times to 4pm to 7pm Monday to Friday (southbound).
