If you want to speak at the meeting, even better! We need to hear from the community.
Register to speak to item 7.1 by 6:30pm on Monday: https://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/about-us/committees-meetings-and-minutes/council-meeting-8-april-2025

Instructions on the page differ from the instructions on the application form FYI (and the ones on that page seem to suggest that you can’t speak in support of something)

Weird! Looks like that instruction might have been copy pasted from the Planning Decisions Committee meeting instructions… I’ll check with officers! But everyone can submit to a regular Council meeting 😊

Now we’re talking, if motorists think that they need more parking then that can come from the space for cars (which have the *majority* of the space under every single option, they just want more more more).

I’m fine with putting this option on the cards, motorists can choose whether they value parking or lanes more, and cyclists remain safe.

Weirdly visual clutter is my concern with car roads and car parking, if this is a valid concern then maybe we can get rid of more of them.

The officer recommendations are sound for 7.1 and 7.2 perhaps Jolly and his anti bike not-a-party party will listen to them…
