Mornington Peninsula parking
Chris CREWTHER (Mornington) (10:25): The Mornington Peninsula paid parking trial is about to end. This is a win for community advocacy, the thousands who signed the petition I sponsored and affected locals, visitors and small businesses. I commend the councillors who voted to permanently end the paid parking instead of deferring this decision. But we must keep up the fight to ensure that paid parking does not come back, given a deferral of the decision to post council elections. I ask the council to end paid parking permanently and end any rollout across the peninsula.
