A specialist parking provider is being sought to run the carpark at the Sandspit Wharf.
The Rodney Local Board was told last week that the purpose of the parking regime would be to better manage the fair use of the reserve and increase parking turnover and compliance, as well as provide options for longer term concession agreements for Kawau Island residents and ratepayers.
The independent operator would oversee charging and enforcement, although the Local Board would set the tariffs. Council staff said that given that there was already a fee regime in place, consultation was not strictly necessary but agreed consultation with affected parties would be a useful.
The carpark contains about 320 parking spaces, divided into 10 distinct bays, and has historically provided parking to more than 150 leases, mobility and casual parking customers.
Parking charges were discontinued in October 2020 when ownership transferred from Auckland Transport to Auckland Council.
Staff reported that as a result, the site was over-used and improper parking behaviour had occurred.
