Parramatta Council earns more revenue from parking than they do from rates. Parking costs are excessive @ $7 a day. On the 14 th of May parking officers in Parramatta did a stake out in a 2 hour parking area adjacent to the Parramatta pool. They set parkers up by painting their Tyres heavily with liquid chalk, writing down registration numbers of all vehicles parked in the two hour zone and photographing people wiping the chalk/ paint off their tyres. They threatened the people photographed, saying they would speak to their employer.
These heavy handed tactics are NOT Acceptable from a council that can't provide sufficient paid parking. The
By 8am the paid parking is full. People with childcare responsibilities are being indirectly discriminated against.
We the undersigned urge Parramatta council to quarantine all parking revenue and to expend that revenue only on maintaining or improving public transport and parking facilities.
We call on Parramatta council to publish a quarterly account of how the revenue earned from parking is spent.
