Do I need to provide car parking?

There is no District Plan requirement for the number of car parking spaces to be provided to support the use or development of a property.

The District Plan now sets out:

  • minimum numbers of bicycle parking spaces that are required to support some activities
  • maximum number of car parking spaces that can be provided, in some cases
  • car parking design, location, and configuration requirements.

You can find the relevant information within the Transport chapter.  

The Transport chapter of the District Plan can be found under Part 2 District Wide Matters of our ePlan.
