Pay by Plate is here
The Blenheim and Picton parking system has changed to Pay by Plate
Pay by Plate Parking (PBP)
Pay by Plate (PBP) is a ticketless system that uses your vehicle licence plate number to record your parking time and payment. You do not need to return to the vehicle to display a ticket because your licence plate number is used to confirm your parking has been paid.
The Alfred Street Car Park building operates on a separate system requiring a ticket to be taken on entry and paid prior to exit. It is not Pay by Plate.
From November 2021, the parking building will change to Pay by Plate. The barriers will be removed and tickets will no longer be required.
Instead, you will need to pay for your parking session when you park your car, using your licence plate number, before you leave the building.
The carpark is a Zone 3 park and the fees will remain at $1.20 per hour and $4.80 per day (+5 hours) with the first hour free.
