Parking scheme review

Project overview

In light of imminent international events and our objective of providing a world-class venue, Auckland City Council and Eden Park have initiated a review of the current residents' parking scheme. The review began in April 2007 and addresses permit provisions and administration as well as enforcement activity and the area covered by the residents' parking scheme.

Review progress

Extensive international and local research has been undertaken, as has broad consultation with the local residents and businesses. At the beginning of the year, residents were invited to attend feedback sessions regarding the current scheme. In October, a number of potential solutions were presented to residents.

Auckland City Council and Eden Park are pleased to announce that the project is six months ahead of schedule and that first changes to the scheme are now effective. These include:

modifications to Annual permit provisions
better Temporary permit provisions
administration of Temporary permits by Eden Park
access to application forms online
comprehensive online information about the scheme.

Over the next two years we will work with other transport partners to deliver holistic solutions that address the traffic management needs of your community on event days.

Changes to the scheme area

Currently, we are legally required to place street signs placed every 100 metres. Following anticipated legislative changes in mid 2009, we will set up an Eden Park parking zone with signage that is less repetitive, more informative and in line with the council's urban design strategy. At this time, we will extend the area. Best practice principles suggest that the public remember an area when it is bound by arterial routes and landmarks. The new area will reflect this principle.

Extensive communication initiatives will be launched when the new area is implemented to ensure that residents and patrons alike are fully aware of the new zone. Following its implementation in mid 2009, a review of the new area will be completed.
