The CBD Parking Strategy 2020-2025 was developed with the aim to commence a change to the way parking is managed in the car-dependent regional city of Albury. It recognises that parking cannot be considered in isolation, but in conjunction with the provision of alternative transport modes. It includes recommendations regarding the implementation of policies and infrastructure to promote and enable the uptake of walking, cycling and public transport. It acknowledges that changes to driver behaviour will not occur overnight, and that alternative modes of transport must be viable and convenient before any change can be expected in any context – regional or otherwise.
Albury’s isolation from Melbourne and Sydney coupled with problematic local public transport sees a high dependence on private vehicles from all residents and visitors to the city. These private vehicles must be stored when not in use, and as such parking in the CBDs must be considered and carefully managed.
Examine Albury’s five-year strategy to addressing these challenges through long-term planning in order to enable changes to driver behaviour in the future.
