Parking at Silverstream Shopping Centre

Council has received feedback that all–day parking is affecting customer turnover for the businesses at 42 Silverstream Boulevard, Kaiapoi.

We’re aware that there are multiple businesses operating from 42 Silverstream Boulevard, including a dairy shop and takeaways, which usually require short stay, high turnover parking spaces to accommodate their customers.

Currently, there are 37 on–street parking spaces available near 42 Silverstream Boulevard, without any time restrictions.

The Waimakariri District Parking Strategy Policy 6 on parking restrictions recommends short–duration parking for businesses with demand for a fast–parking turnover such as dairies, dry cleaning, schools, banks, post offices, cinemas, hotels, etc.

We're proposing adding parking restrictions

To better match demand and improve availability in accordance with the District Parking Strategy, we’re considering several options with varying degrees of restriction.

Before we make any decisions, we want to know what you think about the below options:

• Two P15 (15 minute limit) parking spaces outside the supermarket, with the rest of the parking unrestricted

• All 37 parking spaces restricted to P120 (2 hour limit)

• All 37 parking spaces restricted to P180 (3 hour limit)

• Retain status quo (fully unrestricted).

It’s important that we hear from users of the Silverstream Shopping Centre about what would best meet their needs in terms of parking availability. Please give us your thoughts using the survey below.
