Good morning, I have noticed a common trend since multiple units have been built on Davilak and Winfield Street, that being an increase in street parking.
In particular, the large unit complex on Winfield Street appears to only have allocated 1 parking bay per unit. Numerous cars are parked on the street, at the top of the hill, creating an unsafe driving area.
This parking issue is an ongoing concern, as there are several recently sold blocks on these streets destined for unit development.
I am hoping with any future unit development approvals this is being taken in to consideration.
Happy to provide photos of requested.

I concur with Jason's comment regarding street parking problems due to the relentless construction of units in a previously reasonably quiet and peaceful district. Along with this goes the problem that Davilak Avenue, rezoned to accommodate unit developments, is becoming a very busy road. So many units and so many cars and their visitors or co-habitants all funneling traffic through Davilak Avenue. This road and all the others surrounding are supposed to be 50 kmh zones, but this is ignored by 99% of drivers who speed at up to 70kmh. I did approach the City of Cockburn to at least have a yellow 50kmh zone sign placed in Davilak, but this was refused. Unfortunately the need to share accommodation in units has more than doubled the parking problem, as an example a small no-through road in the area has a three bedroom villa rented to four or five tenants each of which have a car. As there is no room at their villa every day three or more cars are parked in the street, causing more congestion when any visitors arrive.
