Parking changes on Glenmore Street
In the later half of 2024, we’ll be making changes to parking on Glenmore Street to prepare for the installation of an uphill bike lane on the Botanic Garden side of the road.
We heard from the community that people would prefer to park next to the footpath rather than next to bike lane separators. Parking will therefore mainly be on the north-western side of the road, which also allows more parking to be kept overall. Approximately 65% of properties on this street have off street parking.
Between Founders’ Entrance and the Kelburn viaduct roundabout, there will be:
- 61 coupon car parks
- 24 resident only car parks
- Six P120 resident exempt car parks
- Eight P180 resident exempt car parks
- Five P180 car parks
- Two P120 car parks
- Two mobility car parks; and
- One coach park near Founders’ Entrance.
These changes mean there will be a reduction in short stay and coupon parking on Glenmore Street and an increase in resident parking spaces. If you live, work, or visit in the area, these changes may affect where you can park and for how long on Glenmore Street.
