Summary

Parking’s got a problem—and it’s costing us more than just space. A new Grattan Institute report reveals most Aussie cities have way too many street parking spots, turning roads into car storage units. This mess blocks bikes, e-bikes, and scooters, squeezes out safer transport, and shrinks room for trees, charging stations, and outdoor living. The fix? Slash on-street parking—most drivers can find off-street spots—and turn those streets into people-friendly zones. Studies show this boosts business and property values, just like in Europe and the US. It’s time to steal back the streets from cars and give them back to the community.
