Completed works
Starting mid-2023, we began installing clearer signs with new parking conditions throughout the central city. Were 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.

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).
