ABSTRACT
Melbourne is a growing city, projected to be Australia's largest city by 2030, with some six million inhabitants. The State of Victoria was created in 1851, only months before the discovery of gold. According to Taylor: In Melbourne, Australia, 95% of parking trips over 2012-14 were free to the user. At the State Government level, 'Plan Melbourne 2017-2050' is the current strategy for jobs, housing, and transport. Infrastructure Victoria, noting the value of ideas such as DRP, has generated progressive parking reform concepts relevant to local government that, years after their conception, continue to remain on the table. The consensus seems to be that the Melbourne CBD and inner suburbs are strong destinations, and getting stronger with a buzz of ideas to put Melbourne on the cutting edge of urban planning and design. Prahran is located five kilometers south of the Melbourne CBD, covering an area of two square kilometers with a population of 13,000 people.
