Work to remove the old machines and install the new meters is scheduled in May/June with the Napier CBD first, followed by Taradale.
The decommissioning and installation schedule plan has been carefully considered, ensuring there is minimal disruption to the public and businesses.
The pay-by-plate meters will be available to see and try out in the Napier City Council customer services centre on Hastings Street, as well as both the Napier and Taradale libraries from the 13th of April.
The upgrade to Pay-by-Plate meters is an opportunity to upgrade Napier’s parking system to deliver a better service to parking users and also ensures consistency across the region, with alignment to Hastings District Council’s parking system. These upgraded meters are user-friendly, using licence plate numbers to record parking time and payment. Parking assistants will be out and about around the time of installation in Napier and Taradale and are happy to help the public.
