一个行业组织发出警告,允许在火车站或轻轨站附近的公寓不建停车场的规定可能会加剧居民对悉尼部分开发项目的反对。
这个新提出的对22个市政议会区包括北悉尼, Parramatta, Strathfield和Waverley 的停车位衡量规定,是新州规划部部长 Pru Goward宣布的更改公寓设计标准的一部分。
Goward女士表示,新的措施能让周边的公寓设计更加灵活,界定单身公寓的最小尺寸,并推广更多的噪音保护措施,将改善住房的选择,并可为房价带来下行压力。
“一个车位最多可以增加5万澳元入新公寓的成本,所以提供更灵活的公寓车位数量要求可以帮购房者节省同等数量的成本”。Goward女士说。
“重要的是,这种变化只限于特定的区,比如说靠近步行可达车站的区域,并同时强调不提议议会允许这些楼宇的居民能得到路边停车的证".
城市特别工作组,开发者大厅协助开发的指导方针的执行长Chris Johnson表示,离火车站不到400米的公寓的停车需求的减少是因为许多公寓居民优先选择使用公共交通工具。
从2012年期悉尼市政区就规划移除了新的公寓楼停车位的最低数量要求。
但是澳洲城市发展研究所澳大利亚新南威尔士州的首席执行长斯蒂芬·阿尔文Stephen Albin说不含车位的公寓会引起社会对公众停车位不良发展的疑虑,除非增加公共车位。
“如果你不解决这个问题,那么你将可能引起不小的反对意见,特别是在悉尼关键的旧城改造区,”阿尔滨先生说。
“目前,提供没有停车位的公寓属于小众的细分市场,因为悉尼的公共交通系统暂时还不能完全充分满足人们的交通需求。”
Colliers 公司的 Peter Chittenden 说, 开发商是不可能只提供少量停车位的,即使他们可以这么做。
“商业模式坚持要求开发商在大多数情况下,做允许做的事,多过让他们为了省钱而不建地下停车场或车位,”他说。
“在今天的市场来看,更多人会问的第一件事就是是否有停车位。”
CBRE的 David Milton 还指出了开发商可以让买家付多少的停车位。
“一个停车场,在市中心可以花费12万到14万澳币”他说。
“如果你在悉尼南部,Crow Nest,St Leonards或者 Chatswood区,一个车位价值可达7万到8万,在Parramatta大概是5万澳元”。
“澳大利亚的灵魂仍然在于人人有车,并经常使用它们。”
公寓业主的最高机构,业主立案法团网的Stephen Goddard说,从公寓中拆除停车场,社会工程注定要失败。“尝试跟BONDI那区的议民说他们已经得到了太多的汽车车位,”戈达德说。
“减少的停车场将会让路边停车成为一个更大的城市战场。”
在悉尼大学城市规划的Peter Phibbs教授说,虽然停车位的问题可能会导致很多议员和社区之间的焦虑,有针对性的修改才可能提供更多的选择。
“所以,如果人们想要得到有车位的房子,他们可以,如果他们不能,也可以。目前在很多地方,你有没有选择,”他说。
发言人 Ms Goward女士说, 管理路边停车是议会的责任。
Parking requirements to be cut back undernew design standards proposed for apartments
September 23, 2014

Changes that would allow apartments neartrain stations or light rail stops to be built without parking could increaseresident opposition to projects in parts of Sydney, an industry group haswarned.
The new parking measures, proposed for 22council areas including North Sydney, Parramatta, Strathfield and Waverley, arepart of a raft of changes to apartment design standards announced by PlanningMinister Pru Goward.
Ms Goward said the new guidelines, whichalso allow for more flexibility around apartment design, set a minimum size forstudio units and introduced greater noise protections, would improve housingchoice and put downward pressure on house prices.
"A car space can add up to $50,000 tothe cost of a new apartment, so providing more flexibility around car parkingrequirements could lead to savings of up to the same amount forhomebuyers," Ms Goward said.
"Importantly, this change isrestricted only to particular councils, applies only to development within closewalking distance of transport services and strongly discourages councils fromallowing residents of these buildings to receive street parking permits."
Chris Johnson, chief executive of the UrbanTaskforce, a developer lobby which helped develop the guidelines, said reducingparking requirements for units within 400 metres of a train station was anacknowledgement that many apartment dwellers preferred to use public transport.
The City of Sydney removed minimum parkingrequirements for new apartment blocks from its planning controls in 2012.
But Urban Development Institute ofAustralia NSW chief executive Stephen Albin said not including car spaces innew apartments could increase community anxiety about the adverse impact ofdevelopment on public parking spaces – unless this was also increased.
"If you don't fix that up then you'regoing to create pretty substantial local opposition to development occurring,especially urban renewal, in key parts of Sydney, " Mr Albin said.
"Currently, delivering apartmentswithout parking is a niche market segment in Sydney as the public transportsystem doesn't adequately meet people's transport needs."
Peter Chittenden of Colliers Residentialsaid it was unlikely developers would offer less parking just because theycould.
"The commercial formula will insistupon them [developers] in most cases doing what is permissible, rather thantrying to save by not building a basement or car spaces," he said.
"In today's market one of the firstthings people ask is whether there is parking."
CBRE's David Milton also noted how muchdevelopers can charge buyers for parking.
"A car park in the city can costbetween $120,000 and $140,000," he said.
"If you are in south Sydney, CrowsNest, St Leonards or Chatswood your car park is worth $70,000 to $80,000.Parramatta might be $50,000.
"The Australian psyche is still verymuch people having cars and using them regularly."
Stephen Goddard from apartment owners' peakbody, the Owners Corporation Network, said removing parking from apartments wassocial engineering destined to fail.
"Try telling the good burghers ofBondi [Junction] they've got too many car spaces," Mr Goddard said.
"Reduced on-site parking turnson-street parking into an even larger urban battleground."
Peter Phibbs, an urban planning professorat the University of Sydney, said while parking issues could cause a lot ofangst among councillors and communities, the targeted changes would providemore choice.
"So if people want to get a place witha car spot, they can, if they don't they don't have to. At the moment at a lotof places, you've got no choice," he said.
A spokesman for Ms Goward said it was theresponsibility of councils to manage street parking.
