Ex Minute GA17.0720.005 That Council resolves to propose to make Regulated Parking (Amendment) Subordinate Local Law (No. 1) 2017 (‘proposed Subordinate Local Law’) per Attachment A.

5 DISCUSSION 5.1 Introduction Council resolved to propose to make the proposed subordinate local law as per Attachment 1 at its meeting of 25 July 2017. Staff have been progressing the making of the proposed subordinate local law in accordance with the local law making process previously adopted by Council by resolution. The process so far undertaken has included consultation with the community about the making of the proposed subordinate local law. The results of consultation with the public, both generally, and about possible anti-competitive provisions, are as follows: 5.2 Results of consultation with the community Community consultation about the making of the proposed subordinate local law was undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act 2009 (LG Act) and the local law making process previously adopted by Council. Public consultation included the placing of an advertisement in the Gold Coast Bulletin on Wednesday 23 August 2017. The notice invited the public to make submissions. The Consultation Notice on Council’s “gchaveyoursay” site advised that the object of the changes to the subordinate local law is to facilitate the management of on-street parking adjoining core commercial precincts and in residential areas.


ITEM 3 (Continued) MAKING OF REGULATED PARKING (AMENDMENT) SUBORDINATE LOCAL LAW (NO. 1) 2017 LG222/365/02/02/01(P1) In summary, the proposed subordinate local law:

identifies traffic areas, including the Bundall/Chevron Island Traffic Area, the Central Traffic Area, the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct Traffic Area, the Main Beach Traffic Area, the Robina Stadium Traffic Area, the Southern Traffic Area, the Southport Traffic Area, the Stadium Residential Traffic Area and the Varsity Lakes Traffic Area;

facilitates the undertaking of major events, including the Commonwealth Games, by creating a new category of parking permit, a Main Beach Event Parking Permit;

identifies other information which must accompany a Parking Permit application, and in particular, an application for a Main Beach Event Parking Permit;

identifies conditions of a Parking Permit, including a Main Beach Event Parking Permit. As part of the law making process, Council must accept and consider every properly made submission. Council received a total of sixty one (61) submissions for the law. The participation rate by the public on the “gchaveyoursay” site included 180 page site visits with 57 documents downloaded, including:

Regulated Parking Amendment Subordinate Local Law No. 1 2017 (33 downloads)

Subordinate Local Law No. 2 (Regulated Parking) 2006 tracked consolidated 2017 version (15 downloads)

Consultation notice for Regulated Parking Amendment 2017 (6 downloads).

Furthermore of the sixty one (61) submissions received fifty eight (58) were made by committee group members, patrons and/or clients of businesses or other organisations located within Nikiforides Family Park, Broadbeach. The submissions received include:

Patrons of the Royal QLD Arts Society (40 submissions)

Patrons of the Broadbeach Kindergarten (16 submissions)

Patrons of the Broadbeach Croquet Club (1 submission)

Patrons of the Broadbeach Surf Life Saving Club (1 submission)

No comments (3 submissions). In the submissions received the organisations objected to the proposed timed parking limit for the Central Traffic Area within the proximity of the Nikiforides Family Park. The submissions also raised safety concerns for children and parents at the kindergarten during drop off/pickup times. (Refer: Attachment 3 – Submissions received during community consultation for Subordinate Local Law (No. 1) 2017). Consultation has occurred with businesses/community organisations within Nikiforides Family Park to ensure concerns raised during the community consultation period were addressed. The outcome of the consultation included:

installation of a drop off/pickup zone for the kindergarten which will be greatly improve safety for children and parents and increase short term parking availability

installation of two additional disabled parking spaces on Armrick Avenue installation of four hour parking in the angle parking spaces adjacent to the park.


ITEM 3 (Continued) MAKING OF REGULATED PARKING (AMENDMENT) SUBORDINATE LOCAL LAW (NO. 1) 2017 LG222/365/02/02/01(P1) 5.3 Public interest testing of possible anti-competitive provisions The LG Act requires that where a local law contains an anti-competitive provision, Council must comply with the procedures specified in the Local Government Regulation 2012 (LG Regulation) for reviewing anti-competitive provisions. Council undertook a review of the proposed subordinate local law and determined that the proposed subordinate local law did not contain any possible anti-competitive provisions. 5.4 Next Steps in the Local Law Making Process In accordance with Council’s law making process, Council may now resolve to make the proposed subordinate local law as advertised. It should be noted that any decision by Council, at this late stage, to change a provision of the proposed subordinate local law may, depending upon the significance of the change, require further public consultation, which would delay completion of the subordinate local law making process and possibly impact GC2018 works. Once Council resolves to make the proposed subordinate local law, the public must be informed that the subordinate local law has been made by publishing a notice of the making of the subordinate local law in accordance with the requirements of Section 29B of the Local Government Act 2009. The notice must be published:

a in the gazette; and

b on Council’s website. Furthermore Traffic and Transport Branch have developed a communications plan for the project. Following approval of the subordinate local law amendments a letter that outlines the changes will be sent to residents residing within the proposed traffic areas. Within fourteen (14) days after the notice is published in the gazette, Council must give the Minister:

a a copy of the gazette notice; and

b a copy of the subordinate local law. Under section 29 (5) of the LG Act, Council must ensure its local laws are drafted in compliance with the guidelines issued by the Parliamentary Counsel under the Legislative Standards Act 1992. The subordinate local law complies with this requirement. 5.5 Parking restrictions for the proposed traffic areas It is proposed that Council apply the following time limits, hours, days of operation to the traffic areas (Refer: Table 1 - Traffic Area Restrictions).

OPERATIONAL PLAN The proposed local law changes align with the City’s Corporate Plan 2022 by supporting delivery the following themes: Theme 1: The best place to live and visit 1.2 We live in balance with nature

1.6 Our modern centres create vibrant communities

1.8 Our city benefits from a great Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™


ITEM 3 (Continued) MAKING OF REGULATED PARKING (AMENDMENT) SUBORDINATE LOCAL LAW (NO. 1) 2017 LG222/365/02/02/01(P1) 7 GOLD COAST 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES IMPACT The proposed Traffic Area changes will contribute to the GC2018 parking management solution. The proposed Traffic Areas including Southport Traffic Area, Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct Traffic Area, Robina Stadium Traffic Area, Main Beach Traffic Area and the Central Traffic Area will be utilised for enforcement of parking regulations on days and times when GC2018 parking restrictions apply. 8 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Council’s adopted 2017/18 budget provides funds for the making of the proposed subordinate local law. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT

There is no current corporate risk directly associated with this plan. However, as the CPP2015 is related to actions from the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031, the following risk is noted:

Risk Number: CO00507 Risk Name: Transport Strategy is not fully funded resulting in whole of City impacts with poor transport infrastructure and transport service choices for the community. 10 STATUTORY MATTERS Council is required to comply with the local law making requirements of the Local Government Act 2009 and its adopted local law making process. Council must ensure its local laws are drafted in compliance with the guidelines issued by the Parliamentary Counsel under the Legislative Standards Act 1992. The proposed subordinate local law complies with this requirement. 11 COUNCIL POLICIES Development of the City Parking Plan 2015 was a key action of the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 with two key actions related to parking permits: Action 2 Parking Regulations – “Undertake strategic reviews to: (d) Enhance parking

conditions and information to improve safety and residential amenity in residential areas.”

Action 6 Special Parking Management – “Review the use of technologies, including e-permits, to enhance the provision and management of the Residential and Visitor Permit System”.

Regulated parking matters are governed under Council’s Local Law No. 2 (Regulated Parking) 2006 and its associated subordinate local law.

14 STAKEHOLDER IMPACTS The proposed subordinate local law provides a holistic regulatory framework to best facilitate major events.

Being a member of the Royal Qld. Art Society at Broadbeach. I would find this parking alterations of signage depicting "Limited Time" a disruption of my Activities inside the Gallery, being either Reception, Committee member, Art Student. Closing the Gallery, or packing up my materials to relocate my vehicle to another space, if available. Closing the Gallery would inconvenience the Public within the Art Gallery itself and by vacating them from the premises just to move my vehicle. I am not in favour of this at all.

I object to parking restrictions outside the Royal Queensland arts society Broadbeach. If we are having a workshop we have to run out and move cars. If you provided art permits or built a car park for the gallery that would be nice. Otherwise it's just mean and greedy and unnecessary. Turning another part of the Gold Coast into an unfriendly money grabbing place.


No


I am an active member of the Royal Queensland Arts Society and attend meetings, arts shows and workshops regularly at their premises. Restrictions on car parking in the areas would be a great inconvenience as I am 85 and the burden of carrying the art materials would be a problem as well as having to return to the car frequently to move it to another parking place would a great inconvenience

I attend classes at the Royal Qld Art Society at Broadbeach It is proposed to change the parking limit there to 2 hours. As workshops run for 6 hours or so and drawing classes for 2 and a half hours it would mean I would have to leave the tutorial to move my car. There is no off street parking at the art society.

I feel that restrictions are not needed in this area. If they are put in place, there would have to be parking areas specially allotted to those affected which would have to be about 20 places alone for the RQAS (Art Society)


The RQAS is run by volunteers - many visitors local and overseas drop in and enjoy our artwork - that is not the problem re parking - but the people who provide the artwork - who attend classes and workshops and share their creativity and add to the interest along that strip - would have to move their vehicles many times interrupting classes/workshops ..and many people would look for alternative venues negating all the years of work of building up this excellent facility which is constantly growing.

It is ridiculous to think about restricting parking time along this stretch of coast as we have an art gallery where we hold classes and workshops and next door is a bowls club plus the surf club. Is the council trying to keep tourists away from the Gold Coast? It is difficult enough trying to park on the Gold Coast.


No


I wish to complain about timed parking that is planned for the Central Area around Broadbeach (ocean side) it will be extremely difficult for us members (visitors to functions) of the Royal Queensland Art Society to go to classes as we have a lot of material to bring with us and we would have to spend a lot of time going out and finding somewhere else to park (probably blocks away). Some being seniors it would be even more difficult. We paint there from for up to 5 - 7 hours and make several trips to the car each time we come and go. Limited parking could mean a drop in membership if it becomes too difficult. Specially as we are just putting in a lift at great expense to help people come up stairs where we paint.

I would like to object to the reduction in parking times for the parking areas around the Royal Queensland Art Society. I attend RQAS for lessons and workshops lasting in excess of 3 hours for lessons and so e all day workshops. This would severly impact of my ability to attend these classes if I had to continually run to move my car. At my age of 68 with bad kneez I would probably not be able to do these classes.


No


As a member of the Royal QLD Art Society on Broadbeach Blvd and as a regular tutor there, the proposal to limit parking would be extremely difficult for myself and other members. We have volunteers manning the gallery almost every day of the year, many who are elderly, and having to move their vehicles a few times in one day would be too risky for fines. All workshop and class participants too would be inconvenienced with such short time limits.


No


The proposed parking limits in Chelsea street and around the Art Gallery and Surf club in Broad Beach is ludicrous as we would have to interrupt an art class in order to move our vehicles. Also people playing bowls and soccer would have to interrupt their game.

RQAS building at Broadbeach. This would be very problematic for those of us who regularly attend classes and workshops on the premises. We would have to leave the class to find parking.... which sometimes means we have to find parking streets away from the building. Please contact RQAS to discuss this to find another alternative.



I certainly object to this proposal because it would create absolute kaos to all the members of the RQAS establishment nearby. The RQAS has been so helpful in the Gold Coast Arts and Cultural community and this move would definitely cripple their chances of growth as it would inconvenience many many artists (old and young) that frequent that establishment 7 days in any given week. Workshops are constantly held there all throughout the day and night and this would be such a deterrent to all participants. SUCH A BAD IDEA considering the mayor has just given us the go ahead for improving the building facilities and expanding the amenities hopefully prior to the Commonwealth Games. It's ridiculous to give with one hand and take away from the other. Thank you for your understanding on this matter. Sincerely, Member of the public {REDACTED} Artist/Member RQAS

There are several businesses and activities in this area that rely on parking being available for longer than 2 to 3 hours, e.g. the RQAS GALLERY which regularly has all day workshops, the kindergarten whose staff have no opportunity to leave to move cars, the bowls club whose members play for longer periods, this proposal just doesn't seem to fit the local area at all. Yes I understand that parking is a limited resource but this doesn't seem to be the right solution


No


I am a member of RQAS at Broadbeach and this proposed change to parking will prohibit out attendance at RQAS for seminars and workshops and whilst we do a day roster. I am an elderly person and find it difficult to walk long distances.


No


Objection to parking limits in the area around Royal Queensland Art Society, Broadbeach, as members take classes which last longer than 3 hours and workshops which often last for two full days. The GC Libraries issue a parking permit at Broadbeach for meeting attendees. Is it possible for RQAS members to have a similar system?

RE: Limited time parking in the streets around the Royal Queensland Arts Society Gallery (RQAS). 25 Broadbeach Blvd Broadbeach QLD 4218 I'm a pensioner attending classes at the RQAS and object to the council implementing 2 and 3 hour parking limits around the gallery. This would require that students leave a class to move their car thus interrupting the flow. Many of the students are older people who benefit from parking close to their class. You could consider introducing a permit system for those attending a class at the RQAS. thank you and regards Member of the public {REDACTED}


No


I am a member of RQAS the gallery is situated at 25 Broadbeach Blv Broadbeach 4218. I attend art classes weekly of a duration of 3+ hours, workshops which can be from 1/2 days in duration and monthly duty at the gallery which is either 1 week day or 1/2 a weekend day. As there is no parking directly next to the buildings, members are required to park their cars in surrounding streets and walk carrying their equipment with them. As I suffer from MS (have a disability parking sticker) I would find it almost impossible to manage a restricted parking time if I was required to move my car and try and find another park. As a lot of our members are in their senior years, many would find restrictions in parking very difficult. I appreciate your consideration in this matter.

Member of RQAS and require long term parking

I am artist and a member of the Royal Queensland art Society. I therefore have to do a duty every month to man the gallery for five hours. I often do this duty on my own. I therefore would be unable to keep moving my car if there was limited parking because I would have to leave the gallery unmanned. A lot of work in the gallery is on a voluntary basis and the extra costs of parking will influence how much time members will give to the society. I furthermore attend a pastel demonstration each month on a Saturday and attend an art class weekly. The art class is for several hours. Imagine that every member would have to leave the lesson to address parking; some workshops go over two days in the weekend. Every two months I swap over my art works. I am not sure if I and other people could financially continue being a member if we have to pay that much extra costs in parking on a weekly basis. The society would most likely not function if cost of parking

would influence duties and visits of people to the gallery. People would possibly rather choose to pay an amount to hang their work being similar or cheaper than paying parking fees rather than volunteer their time which would seriously undermine the structure and functioning of the gallery. Having to raise fees to prompt people to still volunteer time or the adding of parking fees to each visits to a large part of the older members of the gallery would affect equity and exclude members.


I am retired and in my 60s. I attend regular all-day workshops and volunteer at the RQAS gallery at 25 Broadbeach Boulevard, Broadbeach. If parking is changed to 3 hours, it would mean trying to shift my car halfway through my workshop or when I'm supposed to be volunteering. Finding another park would be very hard and would mean I'd have to walk quite a distance. Not just me, but it would mean that a lot of older women and men who are members of RQAS would stop attending workshops and volunteering because of this added stress and interruption. The RQAS would subsequently reduce in numbers and a traditional and longstanding club that has taken many years to build, would eventually close up. The Gold Coast would lose a valuable asset and all the people who love to do art (that are not professional) will be devastated. I implore you to reconsider the parking restriction

I am a member of the RQAS and I specifically come to the Gold Coast to do all day painting workshops. I need to be able to park my car all day and not have to move it every few hours. I also bring my family to the beach and to do painting of the beautiful surroundings. If parking restrictions were in place I would seriously reconsider not renewing my RQAS membership and would probably choose to visit the Sunshine Coast instead to go to the beach and paint.


No


I am a member of the RQAS & need to attend classes & rosters which usually last for 5hrs to 6hrs & most of the members are Seniors.I hope you don't expect these people to worry about moving their car each time they attend the area for RQAS.

and participants need it too.



Limited parking around the Royal Qld Art Society would inhibit the ability of people to take lessons, which are over three hours, as well as workshops which are held for up to 7 hours. Most people drive to there sessions, because we all do not live locally. Public transport is impossible with all the gear we have to take to participate.


No


To introduce time limiting parking around the Royal Queensland Art Society building in Broadbeach will seriously disrupt our activites and limit participation in workshops and classes which run for longer perioids of time than parking times would allow.


No


The application to parking restrictions in and around amrick avenue & the top of broadbeach boulevard would be a travesty and only a money grabbing exercise. I regularly park there to attend courses at the Royal Queensland Art society which last 3 - 6 hours if restrictions in parking were introduced I would not attend the site so reducing income to a very good charitable society. Parking is not in short supply there I never have problems parking so

I am writing on behalf of the Royal Queensland Arts Society as their President which is located at 25 Broadbeach Blvd Broadbeach. The Mayor is our Patron. We are open 7 days a week and run classes night and day. The classes are 4 hours in duration and the volunteers who staff the Gallery for sales are on duty from either 10am until 3pm or 9am to 5pm. We have thousands of visitors annually. We are hoping that the needs of our members and visitors can be accommodated in your plans with either designated parking spaces (we have on average 20 pax per class) or by leaving the free parking hours available on the Boulevard. Many thanks for your consideration.

Parking restrictions will make it impossible to attend art classes at RQAS. It will also affect the volunteers that work there to keep the gallery open every day.


No


The proposed amendment would make it impossible for me to attend art classes at RQAS Broadbeach without leaving a 3-4 hour class to shift my car or put more money in a meter. As it is I drive quite a way to attend classes. Taking the bus is not an option with a big bag of art supplies and a large wet canvas so if more parking becomes 3 hours or less I wouldn't attend classes anymore and nor would a lot of other students I expect, sending the RQAS broke. I hope the mayor as patron doesnt let this happen.


No


I am a member of the Royal Queensland Art Society and attend lessons, workshops and other functions at the gallery, located at 25 Broadbeach Blv., Broadbeach, which at times last for 5-6 hours. This would mean I would have to move my car as many as 2 or 3 times for one session. I think the new proposed amendments should take this into account. For example, could there be special parking

permits for Society members who use the gallery regularly?


As one of many members of RQAS, I regularly attend its premises at 25 Broadbeach Boulevard Broadbeach to participate in painting workshops, seminars and other art related activities which requires me to carry painting equipment. These activities usually involve a minimum of four hours. The membership of RQAS is located across the Gold Coast. This involves travel to the premises by public transport or by vehicle. If City of Gold Coast is to impose regulated parking in the area which limits time to a maximum of two hours, there is currently no provision made for regulated offstreet parking to use for longer periods. Perhaps the City can offer our members parking permits for our use in that area.

I am concerned about the parking facilities beside Broadbeach Kindergarten and Broadbeach Croquet Club becoming a three hour timed park. Please do not make this a three hour parking area as we are generally at these two places for longer than three hours and it would be very difficult to continue to belong to these organisations if we are not able to park for a sufficient amount of time. Many thanks for your consideration.

We are a Not-For-Profit kindergarten situated on the corner of Armrick Avenue & Broadbeach Boulevard Broadbeach. We understand that Nikiforides Park precinct and quite possibly our shared kindergarten, croquet & lawn bowls car park will all be zoned three hour parking only should the plan go ahead. What prompted this change? Was it due to the Commonwealth Games? Our kindergarten has been operating since 1953 and our families have used this car park to safely alight their children through our car park entry gate for many, many years. Families often have a younger sibling who must also be brought in to the kindergarten to sign their child in and out for the day for insurance purposes and by law. At times the car park is full with other cars and the parents use the street parking directly in front and across the road from the kindergarten. Due to the ever-increasing traffic flow we approached City of Gold Coast for a pedestrian crossing, however,

the corner is fast and blind and a crossing was not an acceptable option. Realising the actual and imminent danger to our children and families City of Gold Coast instead installed “Children Crossing” signs before and after the kindergarten. Since the car park has been surfaced several parks were lost and parents were forced to park further away and across the road, making entry to the kindergarten more dangerous. Our main consideration and worry is for the safety of our children, families and staff. We therefore request that this car park have designated staff and kindergarten spaces for their continued safe access through our car park gate directly into our grounds. We also ask that between the hours of 8.30am and 9.30am and between 2.15pm and 3.15pm a “drop off” zone be marked immediately in front of the kindergarten to allow 15 minute access for parents to park and bring their children in and sign them in. The other pressing issue for us is staff parking. Our three teachers work five days per week. Should no designated parking be assigned to them we have a problem, as under our duty of care and National Quality Standards and Regulations, staff are not permitted to leave the children at all during contact time. This is a legal issue and one that cannot be compromised by staff, or by our Committee as employers. We ask that you address this issue in consultation with our committee and with the committees of our tight-knit community of not-for-profit neighbouring organisations including the Broadbeach Bowls Club, the Broadbeach Croquet Club, the Broadbeach Surf Club, the Royal Queensland Art Society, and the Broadbeach Soccer Club prior to any changes. Our organisations consist primarily of very young

children & families and also many older members. To be fair to “our” neighbourhood community not-for-profit groups including the many community spirited volunteers, council should give much consideration to the needs and safety issues we have raised. Our organisations will be greatly affected and may lose members due to the unnecessary implementation of three hour parking on our very small block - unchanged in over 60 years.

FURTHER IMPACTING INFORMATION TO HAND THIS MORNING VIA – BUS STOP TAKING UP TO FIVE MORE CAR SPACES! DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE KINDERGARTEN! We received registered mail letter this morning from {REDACTED}A/Director (Infrastructure), TransLink Division, Dept. Transport & Main Roads in relation to a bus stop being erected late September on our western boundary shared with our car park. This will mean we will lose at least another FIVE car spaces. Have you given any consideration to the safety of our children and families who travel by car from as far away as Kingscliff and Labrador to attend our kindergarten as it assessed by ACECQA as “Exceeding”. If our present and future families are not able to park and enter the safely we will lose enrolments and jeopardize our 64 year old kindergarten program.

parking available to parents for school drop off and pick up, this was exacerbated during the Lawn Bowls competitions held at the Broadbeach Bowls Club. Removing the current spaces at the front of the kindergarten will mean parents will be having to cross the road with young children in an area that does not have adequate signage that it is a school zone and no school zone speed limit, however Hedges Ave has no schools and a 30kmp limit! This area is another spot that commuters speed through to avoid the Gold Coast Highway. Change the speed limit, not limit the parking.

We have entry to Croquet club via Chelsea Ave and Armrick St Broadbeach. Our club is part of the vibrant sports and cultural precinct and regulated parking will impinge on access to the club and hours of attendance. Members are generally 60 years plus and need to keep playing their sport of choice and access to parking is paramount as they come from near and far to enjoy this active and brain training mode of sport. It would be unfair for all of our local precinct users to have to worry about timed parking and it would be a deterrant for all people associated with this precinct to continue supporting their preferred activity and have to look away from the facilities that Broadbeach offers.

parks each in Chelsea Ave & Broadbeach Blvd. Should this ridiculous parking limit be imposed upon us the Council will need to provide a lot more than 4 parking spaces for surf club members. Broadbeach SLSC is hosting surf & IRB carnivals during summer and winter and a 2 hour parking limit will cause chaos for officials and competitors attending these events. The Committee believes that this is a retrograde step for the tourist capital of Australia. The person/s who thought this idea up should do a site inspection to see what not for profit clubs are up against should their idea be implemented.
