Kuku Beach (0451-1)

Paul from Levin

Kuku Beach. I was here yesterday, with locals, other Forest & Bird members and Regional Council staff. We planted several hundred native plants on the dunes as part of the Council's goal to return the dunes to their natural state. Very satisfying.

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?
