Parking - Control of adverse effects

To address adverse effects, parking controls need to:

consider whether parking supply is appropriate, based on such factors as: land use goals, travel patterns, whether alternative modes are available, the catchment for the land use and specific needs to deliver goods or services by vehicle
ensure that each activity provides adequate numbers to accommodate staff, customers, residents, and delivery people
avoid creating an oversupply of parking as this is a waste of resources and induces additional traffic
avoid traffic congestion
avoid impacts of parking on visual amenity (eg, use of landscaping)
accommodate parking requirements for different activities on the same site, and varying parking demands during the day
ensure there is sufficient access and safety in each parking area.
