On-street all-day parking rates at selected central city locations are set to become cheaper making it more cost-effective for workers and other long-stay visitors to park in the city.
Starting Monday 24 November, Hamilton City Council will introduce lower pricing at selected all-day parking locations where occupancy is below 85%.
New rates (Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, payment via PayMyPark app only) will apply to the following all-day paid parking areas:
- Hamilton Parade – $5
- Memorial Drive – $4
- Victoria St. – $4
- Seddon Rd. North (Mill St. to roundabout) – $4
- Old Mill St., (on-street) – $4
- Old Mill St., (carpark) – $3
Other all-day parking areas will remain at the current rate of $6 per day. First hour free parking does not apply to all-day parking.
Head of Transport Gordon Naidoo said Council is committed to making sure it is providing the best possible parking options across the city to meet demand.
“Our data showed that some all-day paid parking areas were not getting the number of users we expected, so this reduction will help make better use of available parking space while supporting workers, long-stay visitors, and local businesses.”
Naidoo said the changes reflect Council’s commitment to listening to the community and improving access to affordable parking.
