City of Vincent · 3 March 2026

Leederville parking policy approach

In the Newcastle Street tavern discussion, administration said a cash-in-lieu parking contribution was not supported because the Draft Leederville Precinct Structure Plan, which gives greater weight in the town centre, does not require on-site parking.

This affects how new businesses in central Leederville may meet parking expectations and how the area relies on public parking and active transport.
