Background

On 25 January 2024, Ipswich City Council adopted an Interim Local Law No. 1 (Parking) 2024. This local law came into effect on 2 February 2024 and will expire on 25 July 2024. The Interim Local Law’s purpose was to facilitate equitable use by the community, of the off-street parking area at the Springfield Central Community Centre, 134 Parkland Drive, Springfield Central. The effect of the addition enabled the regulation of the off-street parking area.

To continue regulating this parking area, the existing Subordinate Local Law No. 5.1 (Parking) 2013 needs to be updated to include 134 Parkland Drive, Springfield Central.

City of Ipswich local laws are made in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009 and the Ipswich City Council's Local Law-Making Policy.
