It is actually free parking in parramatta every year during Xmas and new year
Nope. They do it every year. Inspectors aren't working, everyone knows it… so why not turn it into a marketing exercise?
They are actually working during christmas
There's barely any parking on the streets anyway.. It's all fenced off for construction for light rail.. It seems most of Parramatta is now one way streets
Yeah was going to say, it is easy to do a "free" promotion for them when the availability is so limited lol
Its a nightmare driving around parramatta now. Let alone finding street parking. That light rail project aint getting done anytime soon.
It seems most of Parramatta is now o̶n̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶e̶e̶t̶s̶ an overcrowded and hot sh*thole.
I fixed it for you. You're welcome. 😎
A free train, bus or ferry ticket OUT of Parramatta would be a much more appealing value proposition IMHO.
Plenty of availability away from the light rail corridor, eg streets around Parramatta Wharf, Parramatta Park and North of the river.
Wow awesome! Leaving my house now to get free parking.
Im guessing this is mostly for the people who still have to go to the office in parra to work. Saving them money in parking fees.
For shoppers. They are better off parking at westfields. Free for 3 hours anyway.
I heard parra Westfield's reduced it to free 2hrs only.. Unless you download their app which gets you I think maybe 4hrs or 5hrs free?
They are better off parking at westfields.
Hahahaha…
Have you tried parking Westfields during the holidays? The queues at the NSW/QLD borders are shorter!
What are the street parking time limits around Parra in general?
Varies. Some areas are 30m, other areas up to 10h.
Only reason not to catch public transport to parramatta is due to covid. drive to parramatta then find a car space to park with limited time is a fail.
will end up spend more time going and return home and also endless effort to find this FREE parking space due to all the road close and upgrade for light rail constructions around the area.
just catch the train if to choose all time
Parramatta is not really car-friendly to start with…. free parking doesn't make it worth a visit
I’m assuming this is to try and boost retail, by getting people out of their houses, into public environments, during a global pandemic.
