The proposal includes a charge of $1 an hour, from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, with no time limit on how long you can park. A 10-minute grace period would be allowed for pick-ups and drop-offs.
Where is this proposed?
The proposal applies to all on-street parking in the town centre area, bounded by Oteha Valley Road, Albany Expressway and the Auckland-Waiwera Motorway. Existing loading zones and mobility parking won't be affected.
It excludes privately owned parking (such as staff and Westfield mall parking, Albany Park and Ride, and Hooton Reserve parking).
Why is this needed?
With the amount of development planned for Albany over the next few years, parking in this area needs urgent management, says AT Parking Services manager, John Strawbridge.
"This proposal not only manages the current parking, which is almost at capacity, it puts in a system for the future needs of the area.
"The plan improves parking availability and encourages alternatives like carpooling. It will help solve current issues with illegal and poor parking in the area."
Mr Strawbridge says Auckland Transport has a new app for iPhone and Android, AT Park, which means you can pay for parking without coins.
