Parking Facilities
The Council provides 14 public carparking facilities. There
is also time restricted parking available in central Timaru
on Stafford Street with the other CBD areas being controlled
by meters.
The Timaru District has four Parking Wardens with the support
of several receptionist/clerks. These staff are responsible
for ensuring the restricted parking areas are shared to the
advantage of the public.
The Wardens welcome inquires from any member of the public
on parking or more general matters, just ask they will be
pleased to help if they can.

How to use a Pay & Display Machine
It's easy!
- All you do is park your vehicle, go to the controlling
machine, and insert enough coins to provide you with the
time you need which you can check on the display screen
on the machine.
- Once you have done this, press the print button firmly
and extract your ticket.
- Take the ticket to your vehicle and display it on the
dashboard, taking care to make sure the expiry time and
all other details can be easily read by any warden who checks
the park.

That's all there is to it!
How to use a Park and Pay Machine

differently from the traditional Pay and Display machines
that issue tickets. |

| The procedure at the new ticketless
'Park and Pay' carparks is as follows: |
| |
|
|

Park and Lock your
vehicle |

number and walk to the parking machine |
| Step 3 |

The 'i' button on the keypad
|
| Step 4 |

the keypad

of each car park
|
| Step 5 |
Press the 'OK' button |
| Step 6 |
Insert the coins
The parking expiry time will show on the screen
|

| |
|
| Notes: |

|
| |
No ticket will be issued
