Car Parking FAQs

The Ticketing Parking system is smart technology designed to make entry and exit of carparks a breeze. Removing tickets means no more lost, wet or jammed tickets in the parking machines. The system uses license plate recognition technology to scan vehicle number plates at the entry and exit of the car park calculating parking fees automatically.

At entry

• The camera will read your licence plate number, record your time of entry and open the barrier arm for you to enter
• Drive in and park your car
• Ensure you have a note of your licence plate number.

Payment & exit

• Go to the payment machine and enter your licence plate number on the screen.
• Your fee will be shown - follow the normal payment process
• Drive to the exit where the camera will recognise that your parking is paid, and the barrier arm will rise.

OR

• Drive directly to the exit where the camera will read your licence plate number, record your time of exit, and show the fee on the barrier machine screen
• Use payWave at the exit machine, barrier will automatically raise (please note: payWave is the only method of payment at the exit barrier)

For most vehicles coming into the carpark the barrier arm will raise automatically. However, there are some occasions where tickets may be required e.g.

-         Dirty or unreadable licence plates

-         Motorcycle plates

These customers will continue to press for a ticket at entry, pay using the ticket at the payment machines, and use the ticket to exit.

Simply press for a ticket from the entry machine. You can pay as usual with a ticket at the payment machines.

Absolutely. The free 15-minute period still applies. This is ideal for dropping off or picking up.

We get it - licence plate numbers can be a challenge to remember. We have installed signs at prominent locations around the car park as a reminder. To make it even easier, we suggest taking a photo of your plate on your phone when you park your car.
