"It may seem like it’s impossible to find a car park on the street.
As a recent Grattan Institute report makes clear, Australia actually has an
oversupply of parking, both on streets and in parking lots. Across five of the
state capitals, most postcodes have more on-street spaces than there are
registered cars.
That’s great for drivers, given most on-street parking outside the inner city
is free and has no time limit. Many spaces are used by locals with a driveway
or garage who find it more convenient to park on the street.
The problem is, abundant street parking comes at a cost. Streets jammed with
parked cars look bad – and remove space for bikes, e-bikes and scooters.
Is it too late to change course? No."
