Car parking

Residential Streets

Parking in local roads can be congested at times and feel that traffic cannot pass along the road.

Generally our local road network will provide sufficient space to allow at least one on-street car space per property for use by visitors however this may not always be directly in front of the property. In the instance visitor parking is not available in front of the property visitors may need to park further down the road and walk to their destination.

Our roads generally consist of a road width of between 5.5 metres and 7.3 metres. Where roads are 5.5 metres in width parking should occur on one side of the road only. For roads 7.3 metres in width parking can occur on both sides. In both cases vehicles travelling along the road will be required to give way to cars in the opposing direction.

Information on car parking rules can be found in the Parking Rules Brochure(PDF, 394KB)

School Parking

In the City of Melton we have more than 40 schools which are located within our local road network. We recognise that with a number of schools comes a number of parking challenges for parents who drop off and pick up their children.

Unfortunately we cannot provide car parking to each parent but rather manage the available parking the best we can.
