With our shopping precincts getting busier due to Christmas, it can be tempting to park your car in the first spot you see.
However, there are different types of parking spaces, so you need to make sure you’re legally allowed to park where you’ve stopped.
You should also consider the needs of others who may not be as mobile as you are, especially at this time of the year when spaces are at a premium.
Did you know that Bairnsdale has over 3000 car parking spaces in the CBD?
A total of 17% of all vehicles surveyed recently overstayed their parking restrictions.
A total of 68.8% of vehicles surveyed within the study area, which includes car parks not under council control, parked for more than four hours, and 11.4% of vehicles parked for the full nine hours (even when in a two-hour parking zone).
Work on the Nicholson Street streetscape has temporarily ceased for the Christmas period. All car parks in this vicinity have been reinstated for the holiday period. Work will begin again on 28 January 2019.
We’ve developed an easy-to-read parking map to assist motorists in understanding the various parking locations in the Bairnsdale CBD and the restrictions that apply.
