Poll: Are you paying too much for parking?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.

The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.

But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.

Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?

Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
