Chapel Street’s parking future is in flux as the council shuts down top levels of two car parks, eliminating 350 spots — a bold move fueled by a costly state congestion levy. The remaining Elizabeth Street spots will be reserved for shoppers with one hour free parking, sparking backlash from market traders fearing lost customers due to steep rates. Council hopes Prahran Square Car Park can absorb overflow, and may even get a levy discount — but this parking tug-of-war highlights deeper tensions over urban costs, traffic, and who really pays.
