Wellingtonians driving to the city on the weekend will soon have to pay up to $5:00 for two hours’ parking in what were formerly free parking spaces.

Charges for coupon parking and permits will also be increased. A charge of $2:50 per hour will be applied in all areas that currently have a weekday rate of $3:00 or more.

Daily public parking coupons will now cost $7:50, an increase of a dollar, with an increase of $15 from the current $120:00 for monthly coupons, and a range of increases for trade coupons. A 12-month resident parking permit will increase from $115:00 to $126:50, and there are also increases for exemption, guesthouse and loading permits. A full-day weekend central city trade coupon will be introduced at a rate of $22:50.

The decision aims to encourage higher turnover of parking spaces on weekends, allowing more people to access the city, and keeping rates affordable. It will transfer the cost of maintaining city centre amenities from local businesses currently paying the Downtown Levy to users of parking spaces.

Around noon yesterday on Adelaide Road (between Countdown & Hall St), one was hit by a car as the pair ran across the road. Sadly, the injured dog passed away on the road and was taken to the SPCA on Mt Vic. The other dog ran off.

Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!

Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!
