Revenue Review Committee - 13 Jul 2026 6:00 PM

Topics

• Wanneroo committee rejects city-wide paid parking in favour of targeted timed parking
  Revenue committee rejects city-wide paid parking but backs more timed parking where occupancy is high.
  Residents will not face a city-wide paid-parking scheme under this position, while high-pressure locations may receive tighter time controls. The report identified localised pressure near schools, Wanneroo Markets and sporting grounds.
• School parking enforcement set to start earlier after two-week caution window
  School parking cautions would be shortened to the first two weeks of term one before infringement enforcement begins.
  Parents and drivers near schools may face infringement-based enforcement sooner in the school year.
• Wanneroo backs education-first compliance with targeted enforcement operations
  Committee backs education-first compliance while allowing targeted enforcement blitzes for recurring offences.
  The approach may change how residents experience local-law enforcement, combining more warnings in low-risk cases with focused infringement campaigns.

Decisions

• City-wide paid parking not supported
  A motion opposing the introduction of paid parking across the City and supporting broader timed parking in areas with high parking occupancy was carried 5–1.
  This rejects a city-wide paid-parking model at committee level while supporting targeted parking controls.
• Education-first compliance with targeted enforcement
  The committee endorsed Option 2, a strengthened education-first approach for Community Safety matters, including written cautions, documentation and officer discretion, plus targeted enforcement operations for selected recurring offences.
  The decision sets a different balance between warnings and infringement enforcement for local-law compliance.
• School parking caution period reduced
  The committee endorsed reducing the school parking written-caution period to the first two weeks of term one.
  Infringement enforcement may begin earlier in the school year.
• Strategic land implementation continues
  The committee received the Strategic Land Policy implementation report and requested Administration continue the actions set out in the report, with future proposed disposals or acquisitions to be considered by an Ordinary Council meeting.
  No specific property transaction was approved by this item; future transactions require further reports.

Discussion

• Paid parking and timed parking
  The committee did not support introducing paid parking across the City and supported expanding timed parking in areas with high parking occupancy. The vote was 5–1.
  Residents are not being asked to pay for city-wide public parking under this committee decision, but targeted time limits may increase in busy areas.
• Community safety and local-law compliance
  The committee endorsed an education-first compliance approach, with written cautions, stronger documentation and officer discretion in suitable low-risk cases. It also endorsed targeted short-term non-discretionary enforcement operations for recurring community concerns.
  Residents may receive more warnings in appropriate low-risk cases, while selected offences may be subject to intensified enforcement.
• School parking enforcement
  For school parking, the written-caution period was endorsed for reduction to the first two weeks of term one before infringement enforcement begins.
  Drivers near schools may need to comply with parking rules immediately after the initial two-week period.
• Strategic Land Policy implementation
  The committee received an update on Strategic Land Policy implementation and requested Administration continue the identified actions, with proposed land disposals or acquisitions to return to an Ordinary Council meeting.
  Future City land sales or purchases are not authorised by this item and will require further public Council consideration.
• Future of the Revenue Review Committee
  The committee considered whether to disband the Revenue Review Committee and establish a Revenue Review Advisory Group. The main recommendation lapsed for want of a mover; the extract does not provide the final result of the alternative motion seeking disbandment without a replacement.
  The structure for future oversight of fees, charges, land policy and revenue opportunities remains unclear from the provided minutes.

Impacts

• No city-wide paid-parking scheme was supported; targeted timed parking may expand in areas with high occupancy.
• School parking infringement enforcement may begin after the first two weeks of term one rather than after the whole first term.
• The City will use an education-first compliance approach in suitable low-risk cases, with targeted enforcement operations for recurring community concerns.
• No specific strategic land acquisition or disposal was approved; future transactions must return to an Ordinary Council meeting.
• The committee’s future governance structure was not clearly resolved in the supplied extract.
