As part of the Annual Plan and Estimates 2022-23 program, Clarence City Council has installed approximately 1000 parking sensors across Kangaroo Bay, Rosny Park and Bellerive.
The purpose of the sensors is to:
- Continue to improve the way we manage vehicle turnover in restricted bays (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour or two hour), especially vehicles that have overstayed their time limit. This will enable more customers through the door to local businesses.
- Provide council with parking data to enhance decisions regarding parking management, including reviewing restriction times, across the city.
- Allow council to share real-time parking data, for parking bays with sensors, such as live parking availability and directions to available areas – including accessible parking bays.
The sensors are now active, and parking bays with the sensors are being monitored by Council Rangers.
Sensors have been installed on all blue shaded areas. Sensors are expected to be installed in the yellow-shaded areas of Cambridge Road and Percy Street in September/October 2024.
