FAQs
Whay are you proposing these changes?
There have been significant developments in Hobsonville and near Launch Road in the last few years which has led to an increase in parking demand.
Customers, developers and local businesses have raised concerns that no short-term parking is available due to vehicles parking all day.
Currently, there are no parking restrictions around the area and the need for parking changes arises from the increasing strain on parking resources.
I park all day on Launch Road to catch the ferry, what other options do I have?
There are several other options available.
Alternative off-street parking options are available within a short walking distance of Launch Road. Hobsonville Ferry is well served by busses.
The 112 and 114 run daily between 6am and 11pm.
The new route 12 goes live on 27 April 2025. The route will run every 30 minutes, 7am-7pm, 7 days a week. It replaces the 120 route which currently operates between Hobsonville and Constellation,
Why is the proposal for paid parking instead of time restrictions?
Hobsonville Point is very busy at most times of the day. Time restrictions (e.g. P120) would make it more difficult for ferry users to use any of these parks, at any time. Paid parking is the best option for people who want to park all day. It also gives those who want to park for a short time more chance of finding a park in the area.
