We're calling for community feedback on a proposal to change the flat $2 fee for Pay and Display Parking Machines in the city centre to a pro-rata rate.
As part of the proposal, motorists will be able to pay a minimum of 40 cents and a maximum of $2 to park in half hour, one hour, two hour and three hour spaces in the core of the city centre.
The proposal to change the fee structure comes following data collected by Council and feedback from the community which indicates some people are reluctant to pay a flat parking fee of $2 every time they stop in the city centre.
The proposal is on public exhibition until Tuesday, 3 August 2010. You can have your say by sending an email to consultation@wollongong.nsw.gov.au, or writing to Wollongong City Council, Locked Bag 8821, Wollongong NSW 2500.
We will consider the community’s feedback and make a decision about the fees for Pay and Display Parking Machines at the 24 August Council Meeting.
