64 Objectives for car parking controls

The objectives of the car parking controls of this Part are—

(a) to acknowledge that public transport is the most important and efficient means of moving people to and within Central Sydney, and

(b) to encourage commuting by public transport to Central Sydney in order to reduce the number of motor vehicles travelling through and to Central Sydney, and to improve overall environmental quality and pedestrian amenity, and

(c) to improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of Central Sydney for retail and commercial activities by providing a reasonable level of tenant and short-stay public car parking whilst discouraging commuter car parking, and

(d) to encourage residential development in Central Sydney, and

(e) to minimise adverse urban design impacts, in particular by discouraging the provision of above ground parking, and

(f) to minimise adverse traffic impacts, in particular conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and

(g) to discourage the provision of public car parking, and

(h) to ensure that tenant car parks are not occupied by persons other than occupiers of the building or land on which the car park is situated.
