Public Car Parking Facilities Overview

It is recognised that the provision of adequate public parking facilities can act as a stimulant to economic development whilst having environmental and safety benefits in locations such as town and city centres which generate a considerable demand. Public car parking facilities normally comprise: • On-street car parking controlled by the DRD; • Public car parks operated by the DRD; and • Public car parks operated by the private sector including temporary car parks on sites awaiting redevelopment (these include long and short-stay parking and the leasing of contract spaces).
