It’s a hot topic on Townsville lips, and now Council have released the conditions of parking in the city when it comes to visiting Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Now, keep in mind that Council are going to use the first few events to monitor the situation, and will take your feedback on for any teething problems.
Mayor Jenny Hill says that on-street parking in the streets surrounding the stadium would be regulated on days when games or events were held at the stadium, just as it has been in Kirwan.
“To protect these neighbourhoods from being inundated with cars during stadium events, Council will implement parking restrictions in parts of these suburbs, similar to what has been in place in the suburbs around 1300Smiles Stadium,” says Cr Hill.
The regulations will limit how long a vehicle can be parked on the street around events but will not restrict how many vehicles can be parked inside a property.
Generally, parking in these areas will be limited to 15 minutes, however in the area around Palmer Street a two-hour limit will apply.
