Submission Regarding Proposed Reduction in Authorised Parking in the City Centre - Octago
Do you support or oppose the proposed changes?
I/We oppose the proposed changes
What is your feedback on the proposed changes
I am writing to express concern regarding any potential reduction in authorised parking outside the Dunedin i-SITE.
Our tourism business has been operating in the city year-round for the past 19 years, serving not only cruise visitors but also independent travellers (FITs) and national coach line passengers. The i-SITE location is critical for our operations, providing a safe, convenient, and centrally located pick-up and drop-off point. Its proximity to amenities such as public toilets adds to its suitability.
Even under current conditions, it is often difficult to find available parking in this area. Any further reduction in authorised parking spaces would significantly impact our ability to operate effectively from the city centre and would diminish the experience for our guests.
We respectfully request that the current number of authorised parking spaces in and around the Octagon be maintained or, ideally, improved to support tourism operators and the visitors we serve.
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards Mark
