First Meters for Parramatta City in Sydney
November 2005
As Australia’s 6th largest CBD, Parramatta City Council has invested in GLOBAL Pay & Display Parking Meters to control their parking and traffic flows.
With over 75% of commuters using private vehicles to visit the CBD, Parramatta City Council introduced paid parking in 2005 to improve car park turnover.
Research showed that long-stay parkers continued to occupy available spaces limiting the opportunities for shoppers and residents’ parking. This was particularly evident around the busy transport hub of the train station.
366 GLOBAL Pay & Display Meters have now been installed which have improved parking space accessibility for visitors.
The meters are monitored by remotely in real time and are able to accept payment by Credit Card ON LINE as well as the traditional ‘fist full of coins’.
