Greater Shepparton City Council would like to advise that complimentary car parking in on-street car parks concludes on Monday 28 February 2022. Despite the changes to on-street car parking, Council-owned off-street car parks will remain free and timed.
Council provided complimentary parking from 1 November 2021 until 28 February 2022, an extension from previous years’ complimentary parking to provide additional support to our local businesses during COVID-19 recovery.
From Tuesday 1 March, paid parking for on-street car parks will resume and infringements will be issued for failure to pay and exceeding time limits.
Parking in off-street Council owned car parks will remain free but time limits will still apply. If you are planning to stay in the CBD for several hours it is recommended you park in an all-day space or move your car to a new zone before the time limit expires.
Council officers will undertake an evaluation of the complimentary parking initiative and prepare a comprehensive report for Council for consideration at the May Council Meeting. This report will inform Council’s decision making in relation to future complimentary parking initiatives, consider the cost of providing the initiative, the return on investment to the community, opportunity costs, as well as assist with the preparation of the 2022/2023 Budget.
The PayStay app is the easiest and most efficient way to pay for parking in Shepparton. PayStay is simple to use. Download the app to your smart phone and make sure you activate payment before you leave your vehicle. The app can locate the zone you are in. Once you have located the zone and selected the registration for the vehicle you are in, press ‘next’ and confirm you want to start parking. When you return to your car, press the red ‘stop parking’ button on the PayStay app.
The app can also show you where parking is located. If you select ‘map’ you can see where the parking is, how many bays there are and how long you can park for. You can also add other vehicles to your account and check your history.
On street parking on Saturday and Sunday is free, with time limits still applying in accordance with the signage displayed.
