Improve Parking for Scooters & Motorcycles in Perth

What is it about?

The motion submitted by Councillors Green & Harley suggests a change in the parking regime that is long overdue and should finally be considered in the City of Perth. What is realised in many other cities in Australia and around the world, that motorcycles and scooters can easily park on some of the city footpaths without obstructing pedestrians loading bays or alfresco dining, should become the law in Perth.

Over 80% of the cars visiting Perth CBD are occupied by one driver only. This causes congestion and restricts access to the city – while economically and ecologically better options are left out. The currently poor parking possibilities in the city of Perth for two wheeled vehicles like scooters, motorcycles but also bicycles must be improved to make it a more liveable city and cope with the increasing population growth. Plenty of (expensive) parking possibilities for cars leave many people no other choice to commute or visit the city than taking their car or use public transport that is not always as accessible and efficient.

As one of Perth’s longest established scooter dealership, Ace Scooters is supporting this initiative because we are in touch with our customers every day and the demand for an improvement is huge.

You will find regular updates on this page about the campaign, what you can do to support the City of Perth to make the right decision and hopefully consider allowing an improved parking regime in the city – also in the hope that other councils might follow and the situation in Perth metropolitan area overall will improve.
