Parking

Where you can park

To encourage people to come and shop or eat at the variety of stores and cafes that Upper Hutt has
to offer, there are no parking charges for parking within the CBD. Instead, and to ensure that there
is a fair turnover of cars parked in the Main Street the streets are patrolled by a Parking Warden.

Areas that are monitored closely are those with short time frames posted, including the 10 minute
parks outside the Mall entrance as well as the parks that range from 15minutes to 120 minutes.
The Parking Warden is also warranted to check that all cars parked within the CBD have current
registrations and warrants of fitness.

Mobility car parks

There are a number of mobility car parks located throughout the CBD. These are clearly defined as they are painted blue. Any car found parking in these car parks that does not display a mobility permit will be ticketed.   For information on how to apply for a mobility permit contact CCS Disability Action on phone (04) 568 9000 or visit their website www.ccsdisabilityaction.org.nz

Sold vehicles

All infringements incurred are matched to the registered owner of the vehicle. If you sold your vehicle and the owner details have not been updated with Land Transport, you will be sent the parking infringement and/or reminders.   To avoid this, check out the tips provided by Land Transport on selling your vehicle at http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/registration-licensing/buying-selling.html.   If you do receive a ticket after you have sold a vehicle you can contact us for advise on the options available to you.
