Tūnga waka
Most car parking throughout the district is free and not subject to time limits. However time limits do apply, and are enforced, in the central business districts (CBDs) of Hāwera, Eltham, Manaia and Ōpunakē. Spaces are available for 10, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes and are well sign posted. The Parking Officer is responsible for making sure that people do not abuse the restricted time limit parking and that vehicles are safe (i.e. they have an up to date Warrant of Fitness, Registration, good tyres etc) throughout the district.
For more information, read the Parking Control and Traffic Flow Bylaw.
