The Car Share Policy has now been adopted by Council.
The Car Share Policy and Guidelines 2023-2028 were adopted by Council on 19 April 2019 with the proposed new and updated settings included in Attachment 1 and 2 below.
A summary of the changes is available on Council's website.
The Car Share Policy 2023-2028 aims to increase the use of car share across the city through the ongoing development of a network of easily reached, well distributed, affordable car share vehicles.
Proposed new and updated settings, considered through the community engagement process, were generally supported and include:
- the introduction of a coverage target for car share vehicles within the city,
- vehicle usage targets,
- targets for membership excluding those under 18,
- changed emission requirements to improve access to a variety of vehicles including electric car share vehicles,
- expanded consultation process and higher fees for new car share bays in activity centres,
- trial of “floating” car share vehicles in new locations, with a three month review,
- strengthening of siting criteria to address barriers identified through consultation, and requirement for increased promotion of car share by providers.
