✔ FAQs: Devonport paid parking

The fine will start at $12.

No, the 10-minute grace applies for the first ten minutes to all paid parking areas.

We do rely on parking revenue to help fund necessary maintenance and upgrades across our network, and this type of revenue is becoming increasingly more important as a sustainable funding source to ensure we can continue to meet transport needs for Aucklanders.  

For Devonport, we have monitored on-street parking usage since we introduced P120 time limits in the village and around the ferry terminal, and there is still a lot of congestion and lack of on-street parking availability at peak times. We need a parking management plan in place along the waterfront streets to manage the increase in demand and free up more parking for everyone. Paid parking without time limits is a proven way to achieve this.

All revenue collected is used to fund broader AT projects and helps to offset funding from Auckland Council and NZTA. This includes road maintenance, new public transport services and major infrastructure improvements such as new bus and train stations.  

Just like when we introduced parking changes to the village and ferry area in 2021, we will monitor the impact of these changes to ensure it is addressing the core problems of limited parking availability and growing congestion.
