Parking meters accept credit cards, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1.00 and $2.00 coins. Please note that the minimum fee for coin payment is 70c and $1.40 for credit card payments. No change is given, so change for parking should be obtained prior to parking. Please see below for instructions on how to use 'Pay and Display' parking meters for each type of payment:
Coins:
- Once you have parked your vehicle, check the parking signs to confirm the times that you can park there.
- Look for a parking meter nearby with a blue 'P' sign on the side, in some instances you may need to cross the road.
- Insert coin(s) into the slot for the amount of time required. As the coins are inserted, the screen will display the amount paid and the time you have paid for.
- Push the green button to print your ticket or the red button to cancel.
- Collect your ticket and place it on your car dashboard, on the side closest to the kerb, so that it is clearly visible from outside the car.
Credit Card:
- Insert credit card (numbers face up and to the left, insert card fully).
- Select amount of time using the minus and maximum buttons.
- Push the green button to print your ticket or the red button to cancel.

- Select amount of time using the minus and plus buttons.
- Push the green button to print your ticket or the red button to cancel.
- Hold card against yellow PayPass / PayWave sensor until beep sounds.
