North Sydney Council carpark recently upgraded their boom gate system to number plate recognition. Whether related to this or otherwise, it has been out of service at least since I returned from the break on 3 January. While they fix the system, the boom gates have been raised to allow the public to use the carpark.
The usual pricing
- Monday to Friday: First hour is $7.50. Thereafter $5.50 per half hour. Evening flat rate after 6pm is $7. Maximum daily fee $55
- Early Bird Parking: must be validated at the automatic pay machine, $23 Monday to Friday - Entry 7am to 9.30am, Exit 2.30pm to 6.30pm
- Weekends are free
Plenty of spare space for those who work in North Sydney, are back from the Christmas break already, and feel like driving to work. Not sure how long this one will last so will keep you posted.
Thanks for the tip regarding free weekend parking.
