Water and Air Transport Subsidies and Marina Parking
Marina Parking
Marlborough Sounds Marinas will continue to assist permanent Sounds residents with parking.
It will entitle permanent Sounds residents to park as follows:
Off Peak - May to September: in the main marina in ‘pay by plate’ parks.
Peak - October to April, residents’ cars will need to be relocated to the gravel area in the vicinity of Compound B in Havelock or by Memorial Park in Picton.
A maximum of 50 concessions will be issued on ‘first in, first served’ basis in Havelock and 10 will be available in Picton. Terms and conditions apply.
Sounds residents who wish to have their car parked in a more central area all year around are required to pay the $7.00 per day and park in the Pay by Plate area in the same way as bach owners and marina users.
Please contact Steve in Havelock or Mark in Picton to apply for your parking concession. Details as follows:
Havelock Marina: Steve McKeown on 03 574 2366 or 021 242 9165
Picton Marina: Mark Woodmore on 03 520 3390 or 021 704 920
Port Marlborough’s parking in the marinas is designed for marina customers and assumes a rotational use, not a semi-permanent or permanent use, and therefore Port Marlborough cannot guarantee the ongoing availability of these car parking entitlements in the future.
Port Marlborough recommends that impacted residents consider a boatshed or compound rental to assist with their parking requirements going forward. Those are currently fully tenanted but a waiting list is available.
NB. Sounds Residents are defined as permanent residents of the Sounds with no (or limited) road access and excluding bach owners or holiday makers.
Please note: The Coathanger car park in Picton is not part of Port Marlborough’s Picton marina. This is administered separately by Marlborough Roads on behalf of Council and is not included in the above arrangements. Normal parking arrangements apply here.
