The current approved parking arrangements for permit holders within the Goulburn Base Hospital Precinct is due to expire in December 2022.
Currently people issued with a parking permit are exempt from the current parking restrictions in place around this area.
The restrictions to parking times are in place to assist the residents, school, and hospital staff to obtain parking within the precinct. These restrictions have been in place since 2019 and patrolled by Council's Parking Officers. To date feedback received from permit holders has been positive.
At a Council Meeting held on 6 December 2022, Council endorsed the extension of the permits to December 2023.
The following terms and conditions have been put in place for each permit holder:
- The parking permit can only be used on the registered vehicle specified on the front of the permit.
- This permit is valid to December 2023.
- The parking permit must be displayed on the left-hand side of the vehicle dashboard. Failure to do so renders the permit invalid.
- The permit allows parking only within the nominated numbered areas authorised by signs bearing the words "PERMIT HOLDERS EXEMPT'.
- The permit does not give any rights to park the vehicle contrary to the Australian Road Rules.
- Does not guarantee the availability of parking spaces to the holder
An audit of the parking arrangements in and around the hospital precinct will be undertaken towards the end of 2023 and this audit will be presented to Council.
