Eden Park residents' parking scheme

Proposed changes and have your say

Where to from here?

The consultation period for feedback on this proposal has now closed.

The feedback received is being considered as part of the Eden Park Residents Parking Scheme review.

The outcome of the review and details of any changes to the scheme will be communicated to local residents, businesses and the wider community later this year.

The scheme aims to minimise disruption to residents and enable them to park in their streets whilst maximising traffic and pedestrian flow at the time of Eden Park events.

The current parking scheme comes into effect when an Eden Park event is expected to attract more than 5,000 people.

Parking within certain streets on the day of an event is restricted to residents who display a valid permit. Permits are free and have to be renewed annually. Residents also have access to a number of temporary permits for their visitors.

Vehicles not displaying a valid permit may receive infringement tickets or be towed. Further information on the current parking scheme can be found in the links above.

How would the new scheme work?

The new scheme proposes a two zone concept. The full zone would be used for larger events such as super14 rugby, international cricket and other one off events at Eden Park. The half zone would be used for smaller events such as Air NZ Cup games, and Test/Provincial cricket games.

New permanent hinged signs would be displayed 12 to 24 hours before the event instead of the temporary signage that is currently used. These new signs would reduce the impact on residents.

The new scheme would be implemented by late October 2010. A comprehensive media campaign would take place to alert Aucklanders and Eden Park patrons of the changes.

Previous consultation

In 2007, the boundaries of the Eden Park parking scheme were reviewed. Consultation was carried out with the community and other stakeholders which led to the development of a new parking restriction area.

The implementation of the new parking restriction area has been delayed because of the need to wait for changes to national legislation regarding parking zones. This is now expected to be done this year.

Given the delay, council has decided to consult again to ensure the proposed zone is still appropriate and is seeking the opinions of all residents in the wider area, including new residents.
