Parking Simplified in the CBD

Online Content Publisher from Whangarei District Council

Changes are coming for inner city parking at the end of this month.

More than 15 Parking Zones will be simplified down to just 3, and new mPark signs will be installed to make it easier to tell what Zone you are in.

The new Zones:

▷ Zone One: $2 an hour, P180 restriction.
Currently the central inner city is a mix of $2.50, $2 and $1 an hour with a P180 restriction.

▷ Zone Two: $1 per hour, P180 restriction.
This area is currently a mix of $1, 60c, 50c, 40c and time restricted only

▷ Zone Three – $2 per day, all-day commuter carparks.
Water Street and Vinery Lane Car Park charges will drop to $2 per day, the same price as the Hatea Drive commuter car park.

There will be no changes to Town Basin parking, mobility parking, motorcycle parking, clearways and loading zones will remain unchanged.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
