Parking in Clutha District

Park Like It Matters

Our approach to parking aims to ensure that:

• Vehicles are parked safely, legally and responsibly.
• Mobility parks are available for those that need them.
• Roads are kept clear for the free flow of traffic and access by emergency services.
• On-street and public carparks are used fairly and efficiently.
• Drivers understand and follow the rules.

Keep driveways clear

Do not park across or block a driveway, even for a short period of time.

Blocked driveways can prevent residents, visitors and emergency services from accessing properties when needed, and can be disruptive for businesses.

Leave mobility parks for those who need them

Mobility parking spaces are provided for people with a valid mobility permit.

Using a mobility park without displaying a valid permit may result in an infringement notice of $750.

These parks provide essential and convenient access for those in our community with mobility impairments to access businesses and services and should always be respected.

Check the signs

Many parking areas have restrictions designed to ensure parking is available for everyone.

Always check for:

• Time limits
• Parking restrictions
• Loading zones
• Reserved parking spaces

Following the signs helps keep parking available for shoppers, visitors and businesses.

Follow time limits

Time restrictions help create turnover in busy areas and ensure more people have access to parking close to shops and services.

If a parking space has a time limit, make sure you return by the time it expires.

Park considerately

Think about how your vehicle may affect others.

Avoid:

• Blocking footpaths
• Restricting visibility for drivers
• Obstructing access to properties
• Taking up multiple parks
• Parking in a way that creates a safety risk
