At the moment, developers have to adhere to parking provision standards for their buildings which stipulate the minimum amount of parking spaces they have to build according to their floor area.
Private residential developments, for example, have to have a minimum of one car parking space per residential unit.
These parking minimums ensure a steady supply of parking and keep parking prices relatively low.
"That might sound nice but it goes against all our other policies, doesn't it?" said Dr Barter.
