Yes this is very disappointing and WHY???


There are many kiters that use this spot for parking and kite set up on the grass every time the wind blows. You guys and gals will see next time you try and park. This is the road parking beachside between the Savoy Hotel (Wellington Street) and almost back to the Brighton Beach car park (Keith Court).

I cannot see the rationale here...

I have queried the rationale with Vic Roads today and await a reply.

Should we start a petition?

Yes, you should start a petition. Then when you get an answer you will have an address to forward petition results to.
Here is an example pettion site, there may be others or better ones.

You can thank your mates on two wheels, it's a provision to protect cyclists.

If this is the reason?? It is getting out of control Next it will be single lane from metone to port melbourne It has started at Metone AND the fxxxes dont even ride on track"What"we hafto park opposite side and get run over by car or truck crossing the road, Note it is not for Brighton cyclists ,its for all of bayside and more that ride along beach Rd

Get off your soap boxes... There has been a clear way along beach road on weekends for about 2 years which finishes at 10am. This is the only thing put in place to help protect for the thousands of cyclists who use beach road, yes I am one of them. The new no standing and meters are not connected. The single lane on beach road at the corner of Mentone is not new and has also been place for probably 10 years.

I suppose all the parking meters put in the numerous car parks along beach road are also because of the cyclists....

Will have to park on the side streets and cross the road then... or just park and hope there isn't a ticket inspector while your kiting.

So I wonder if it would help anyone if a local was to scan their window sticker (or if there'd be an repercussions).

So I followed this up with the council when the changes first took place and was told by the head of this department that this was because the road was a traffic accident problem. No mention of meters but alas they have recently appeared.

Council now openly admit and as reported in the local papers they are taxing those that visit beaches from outside the area. They have to upkeep beaches facilities etc and detail plans of improved amenities. I can see some logic here BUT let's wait and see what happens to the amenities.

Problem is that kiters will just populate the side streets and the residents will see increased traffic and congestion.

Yes, very disappointing indeed. Side streets are now 1h for 200m from beach rd. I also find it quite dangerous crossing the beach rd ouround Brighton Savoy.
Perhaps we can voice our opinion on:

Also picked up an issue when I tried to go through in the morning for a session. The kite beach is no parking until 10am (on a weekend) which makes it hard to get a sunrise session in.

Road cycling is the land mammals New corporate golf???the roads around little river is the place for real road training - wtf beach road

I got the same fine 2 weeks ago , same spot ! I thought that it was reasonable considering I have had 150.00 in Sydney a few months back..

I know a number of resents near and around Brighton beach and they are VERY upset with all the additional traffic and cars parking in the side streets. Lets hope they keep complaining but I del the decisions will not be reversed. The parking inspectors will double or triple their salaries with commissions so they love it. It's just a shame you can't just pull up and enjoy the bay.

IF THE resents keep complaining The council will have reason to put in place resent parking only in side streets Mother f####s

****ing council ****wits
