Parking bays at requested locations

Special Charge
On 30 August 2016, Council resolved to give notice of its Intention to Declare a Special Charge Scheme, for the reconstruction of King Street Stage 1, between Blackburn Road and Wyena Way and to give public notice of its intention to declare a special charge.
Council funds the majority of costs associated with the upgrade of link roads such as King Street... Under the provisions of Council’s policy relating to special charges, community contributions are required to assist with the funding of construction of assets which provide a special benefit to property owners such as landscaping, street trees, parking bays, individual vehicle crossings that have not previously been formally constructed and footpaths that are not part of the Principal Pedestrian Network (PPN).
The total cost of the stage 1 works is estimated at $2,260,281.72 of which $81,815.11 (3.62 per cent of the total cost) is proposed to be recovered from the owners of thirty three properties by means of a special charge scheme. This represents a generous policy position when compared with other Councils.
Copies of the following documents which provide further information regarding the proposed special charge can be found in the document library on this page.
Minutes of the Council meeting of 30 August 2016, setting out the basis for the special charge and cost apportionment. Attached to the minutes are the supporting project cost estimates.
The Scheme Plans showing the assets which are proposed to be included in the special charge.
A copy of the public notice published in The Leader on 28 November 2016.
A copy of the scheme apportionment spreadsheet used to determine contributions proposed to be charged against individual properties.
