A coalition of business owners on Cuba St are petitioning the Council to reconsider its plan to
remove 20 car parks along the stretch of road between Ghuznee and Vivian. Organised by
(unsuccessful) Lambton Ward candidate and famed Kaffee Eis creamslinger, Karl Tiefenbacher,
the “Park It” campaign hinges itself on business owners arguing that losing the 20 car parks will
make a significant impact on their profit margins.
“The thing to remember is that a lot of people walk here, obviously, and I get stupid statements
like, ‘cars don’t spend money, people do’, but cars don’t drive themselves either, so every car
brings an extra person to Cuba St,” he told Salient. “You know, we’re selling a low cost product,
and we need a lot of turnover, so if we lose something like 10% of our business [by having no
car parks], that’s enough to send us under.”
