For a city our size, we probably have an over-supply of parking in the central city rather than an under-supply. We have had a central city parking plan in place since 2015. Over the next month, Council staff will be talking to central city residents and businesses to hear what the issues are and what a new central city parking policy should achieve. Christchurch City Council is only a small player when it comes to the provision of parking spaces in the central city. Eighty per cent of the non-residential parking in the central city is on private land, mostly in the form of customer or staff car parking.
