| Which option for on-street short-stay parking in the central city do you support? |
Option 1: Two hours free (Council’s preferred option)
|
| Help us understand the reason for your response: |
Too many recent changes and too much uncertainty around parking in town. 2hours free has been used in the past and it's proven to be enough time to use town shop /eateries with less stress about checking parking meters.
|
| Do you support Council’s proposal to increase the entry fee for non-Hamiltonians aged 16 and over to enter the enclosed areas at Hamilton Gardens to $27.50 from October 2026? |
No
|
| Help us understand the reason for your response: |
$20 is a universal amount. Increasing price could possibly put off other New Zealanders enjoying our gardens. A price increase could potentially be assigned to international tourists.
|
| Do you support the proposed Planning Guidance/Urban and Spatial Planning fees and charges? |
In part, but I have suggestions
|
| Help us understand the reason for your response: |
Other entities wanting to use our areas, and with the increasing population, a fee will helpfully retain a high standard of planning.
|
| Are you giving feedback on behalf of an organisation? |
No, these are my own personal views
