Residents are being asked to give their feedback as Tamworth Regional Council starts work on a updating its car parking strategy for the region.
The Regional Parking Strategy is an update to the Tamworth CBD Parking Strategy 2020-2030, which was released prior to the adoption of Blueprint 100.
The updated parking strategy will not only cover the Tamworth CBD, but also towns and villages across the region including Nundle, Barraba, Manilla and Kootingal, in addition to high traffic areas such as the Sports and Entertainment Precinct in South Tamworth and Bridge Street Precinct in West Tamworth.
“It was always the intent to review the strategy at least every 3-4 years to ensure the plan still aligned with Council’s strategic direction, which is exactly what we are doing,” said Manager Strategy, Assets & Design Graeme McKenzie.
As part of the review of the strategy, a community survey has been developed to determine the needs of the community and identify areas of improvement and/or concern.
“As the community grows the needs of our community evolve too, including emerging trends such as electric vehicles and people looking to walk and cycle more, so we really want the community to complete the survey so we can capture any changes in how the community approaches car parking,” said Mr McKenzie.
To complete the survey, visit https://haveyoursay.tamworth.nsw.gov.au/car-parking-strategy before 19 September 2023. Each completed survey will go into the draw to win one of four $250 fuel vouchers.
