Parking is one of the major issues at Yarra, and has been mismanaged for years by council.
The problem is simple - a massive number of cars visit Yarra each day, and the current Councilors aren't prepared to do anything significant - and large scale - to protect residents.
In addition, parking enforcement is seen to be revenue raising opportunity, not something to be done to make sure that visitors comply to the current (inadequate) restrictions.
Parking would be easy to address, IF the council wanted to do anything about it. instead they have done nothing, and have even got rid of the Parking Community Advisory Committee (which I was on), after ignoring most of their recommendations.
