MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 1349
Shopping Centres - Parking Charges
Mrs Carnell - asked the Minister for Urban Services:
(1) Was the recent imposition of parking charges at Woden Plaza on Saturdays in long term parking areas advertised; if not, why not.
(2) If so, when, where and how was this change advertised.
(3) What was the value of parking fines issued on Saturday, 15 July 1994 at
Woden Plaza.
(4) Are there any other shopping centres at which paid parking for long term parking areas on Saturday has recently been imposed.
(5) What is the estimated revenue to be gained from imposing these new parking rules at Woden Plaza.
(6) What is the estimated revenue to be gained from imposing such parking rules at other shopping areas.
Mr Lamont - the answer to the Members question is as follows:
(1) The decision to convert the long-stay voucher parking areas at Woden Plaza to multi-use parking was announced in the 1993-94 Budget, but was not advertised separately. The signs depicting the changed arrangements were erected on 6 June 1994. However, to allow carpark users time to become familiar with the multi-use parking arrangements, infringement notices were not issued on Saturday mornings in the Woden Plaza area prior to Saturday 16 July 1994.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The value of parking fines issued on Saturday 16 July 1994 was
$1485.00.
(4) Civic, Braddon and Turner parking arrangements were changed to multiuse parking in July 1993.
(5) Separate revenue estimates have not been made.
(6) Separate revenue estimates have not been made.
