COVID-Safe Parking

Following a period of reduced rates in the two Brisbane City Council car parks at King George Square and Wickham Terrace, to support those essential workers travelling to the CBD during the COVID-19 restrictions, Council has announced a return to normal rates from Monday 18 May 2020.

The Victorian Government is now providing more support for Victorian businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic to get to the other side of the crisis.

Initially the Victorian Business Support Fund was limited to a small range of industries, but Parking Australia has successfully been able to get the Victorian Government to make the change to include all industries.

Following on from the successful launch of the City of Adelaide smart city parking initiative, the City of Marion has just signed a contract with Smart Parking to install its system in over 400 individual parking bays.

The aim of this project is to reduce commuter parking in local streets, as well as reduce commuter emissions. To achieve this, vehicle detection sensors will provide data on individual parking bays, which is then displayed in real-time on strategically placed LED directional signs, as well as the customised wayfinding app.
