The study has assessed a range of parking options in the Taupo CBD and is now available for the public to review and make submissions.

The study is proposing that paid parking is introduced in the form of pay and display machines, with the revenue generated put towards financing additional carparks including a parking building at the existing Heu Heu Street site between 2010 and 2016.  Further down the track (2016 – 2026) a new travel centre will be constructed and another parking facility if required.

The study is available from Council offices and libraries.  The closing date for submissions is Friday 10 August at 5.00pm.
