Have Your Say on the Future of Parking in Mansfield

Published on 05 September 2025

Council is calling for community feedback as part of a new study into parking in Mansfield township. 

The study aims to assess existing parking conditions and identify how parking could be improved. Council is surveying specific areas from 5–6 September, focusing on commercial zones near High Street and Highett Street and several residential streets near Mansfield Primary School. 

In addition to these surveys, community members are being asked to suggest locations anywhere in Mansfield where they feel there are issues or opportunities to improve. 

Mayor Cr Steve Rabie said that gaining a better picture of Mansfield’s parking needs would allow Council to develop tailored solutions. 

“We know that many of our community members are concerned about parking pressure in Mansfield,” he said. 

“By undertaking the parking study, we’re taking a look under the hood of this issue to see exactly what the needs are at each location. We’ll be looking at what kind of demand we need to accommodate now, and also our community’s long-term needs and what opportunities we have to meet them. 

“We’ve engaged experts to survey some high-priority areas, but we know local knowledge from across the township is just as important. Your feedback will help us understand what other areas we should look at and the needs in those locations. I strongly encourage everyone to get involved and have their say," said Cr Rabie.

Feedback for this study closes on 21 September.
