Visitors to the
Queenstown Gardens will now find the search for a car park
easier following a change to the parking restrictions.
Around 30 parks in the main car park have been designated
P240 and Queenstown Lakes District Council transport manager
Denis Mander says the aim is to make sure people who only
need to park for a short period are catered for.
“We
have to provide for everyone and currently Gardens users are
disadvantaged with much of the parking taken up by all day
users,” he said.
“By providing a number of P240
parks, we hope that Bowling Club and tennis court users as
well as visitors to the Gardens will have improved
access.”
The restriction applies Monday to Friday
only and signage will be in place by the end of next
week.
Mr Mander said there was still room for people
who needed to park for longer periods.
“It’s about
balancing needs and there is still ample unrestricted
parking in the Gardens car park and also on Park Street,”
he said.
