Following consultation the council received 542 submissions and 161 social media comments on the wider parking policy, with 67 per cent in support of a demand-based pricing scheme.

The proposed parking policy would remove existing two-hour parking limits. The first two hours would be charged at a set rate and an increasing hourly rate would be applied to vehicles parked longer than this time to increase turnover and free up parking spaces.
