Wellington City Council planned to increase central city parking earlier in May.
A proposal to increase parking costs in central Wellington will put the city on-par with Auckland’s Queen St and make it dearer than parts of Manhattan or central London. The Wellington City Council proposal, to increase central city parking to $5 an hour, will be open to public consultation this week. The bulk of the central city will see a parking fee increase of 50 cents an hour – mostly to $5 but city fringe areas such as the area south of Vivian St or Cambridge Tce will rise to $3 or $4.
