Heading into the busy festive season, locals are being urged to utilise the three newly named car parks located in Railway Street to help ease congestion in the Griffith CBD.
Following a 28 day submission period, proposals to name the car parks Stevenson, Jasnos and Eardley will now be forwarded to the Geographical Names Board for approval.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran is urging business owners to consider using the Railway Street car parks to ensure spaces are available for customers.
"We've got these new car parks that I hope everyone will to become accustomed to using fairly quickly," Councillor Curran said.
"We are about to head in to a busy shopping period and I just want to remind anyone looking for parking that these spaces are available."
Director, Sustainable Development, Bruce Gibbs is reminding residents that parking in and around the CDB is regularly monitored.
"Our Enforcement Officers will be out to ensure overall equity of access of parking for local business and patrons," he said.
"We'd just like to advise motorists that parking in the CBD is routinely monitored and enforcement is carried out."
In the last 6 months 386 parking infringement notices were issued by Council Officers.
