Alfred Street Parking Building Update

Free parking in the new Alfred Street car parking building will continue into September after a delay in the arrival of some of the new ticketing machinery.

The parking building has proved very popular since it opened with drivers making use of the free parking so close to the centre of town.

Drivers who wish to leave their vehicles for more than an hour or two are being urged to park on the first or second floors, leaving the ground floor for short-stay parking.

The EFTPOS terminals for the ticket validation machines have yet to be installed but once that is done the 80-cents-an-hour parking charge will apply.

Closed-circuit security cameras are also to be installed in the building in the next month or two.
