Congratulations to all our finalists and award winners at our awards which were announced at the Parking Industry Awards in Sydney last month.
Hosted by the energetic and witty Libbi Gorr, the awards celebrate the people, projects, and organisations who have made an impact throughout the parking industry.
Expert panels on Alternate Energy, Landlords, Future of Industry and International parking trends, an engaging case study from the City of Yarra on implementing Cashless Paid Parking, and keynote speaker Steve Simpson, headline the exceptional run-down at OUTLOOK on 11 October at ICC Sydney.
It will be a fantastic day of innovation, insights, and industry leaders coming together to look to the future positively. If you’ve not done already, don’t forget to register – see you there!
Thank you to everyone who has made me so welcome as I’ve settled into the role as Parking Australia’s new CEO.
It’s been a busy, interesting, and productive few weeks, and I’ve particularly appreciated meeting, listening to and learning from members (whose support we greatly value) and key stakeholders.
I’m very much looking to meeting colleagues in Brisbane next week at our networking event. The panel’s thoughts on ‘finding a balance’ is an apt analogy for an industry which is focused on people, their needs, and the many associated challenges and opportunities that come with this.
We’re hopping back into your inbox this month with our news over the last little while – and there is a LOT of news to catch up on!

Our recent Cybersecurity Forum in Melbourne on 15 February was an extremely popular, informative and fun networking event (yes, they did have to ask us to leave more than once!). Attendees gained valuable knowledge and practical guidance around cyber threats to their businesses in the parking industry. If you couldn’t make the event, please log into our Members Resources Section to view the recorded presentations. Special thanks to our sponsors, TNS and First Parking.
