A reduced parking rate will soon be available in new pink zones, which will be popping up in select, existing all-day parking areas in Rotorua shortly, the Rotorua Lakes Council says.
In a media release today, the council said the new pink zones aimed to provide an even more affordable all day (eight-hour) parking option for inner-city workers.
Parking in the pink zones costs 50c per hour.
Located on Hinemaru St, Haupapa St, Pukuatua St and Eruera St, the new zones would replace areas where parking previously cost $1 per hour. The council urged in the release for people to "keep an eye out for signage changes in these streets".
