Parking Management Plan Survey

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Let’s have a closer look at car parking in the city centre. Today we're starting consultation on a whole new Parking Management Plan for the city centre of Whangārei, and we want your input:
🅿️ www.wdc.govt.nz...

The document describes three main changes proposed:
1️⃣ Improved technology for finding, paying and enforcing car parking
2️⃣ Introducing new paid parking areas
3️⃣ Updating parking zone prices

We've also allocated funding for a "Park & Ride" feasibility study and to convert some parallel parking spaces to diagonal parking (increasing the number of cars that can park in the city centre).

Please take part in the survey to give your feedback on the plan.
