                     leading to the actual construction of the parking and in this respect Council may
                     set—
                     i     a fixed time period in which the contribution may be received; and
                    ii     a fixed number of spaces for which contributions may be received.
     4.2       Without limiting its powers under section 3.5.30 of the /PA, Council may require monetary
               contributions in lieu of on-site parking in any circumstances including the following—
              a)     where there may be a significant traffic management or pedestrian safety issue if the
                     development were to provide on-site parking; or

               b)    where the provision of on-site parking may have an adverse impact on the
                     streetscape or character of the surrounding area.

     5.        Use of contributions
     5.1       Acceptance of contributions does not imply that parking will be provided in the immediate
               vicinity of the premises.

      5.2      Parking provided off-street on development sites, on street or off-street in public carparks
               is by way of provision of an overall stock of parking. Accordingly, the provision of any
               parking in the defined precincts shown on Maps 1-9, adjacent the defined precincts or in
               other areas which will be used by patrons of commercial development will all add to the
               overall stock of parking available for the community's use.

      5.3      Contributions may be used in a number of ways including—

               a)    the acquisition of land for future provision of parking where practicable;

               b)    the cost of demolition or relocation, where the land contains existing buildings or
                     structures;

               Cc)   the construction of parking, including provision to ensure safe access and use of the
                     parking spaces;

               d)    the construction of parking in existing road reserves;

               e)    the rationalisation or other modification of existing parking to improve its utility; or

                                                                                                Page 75 of 112
