Reserved parking spaces

Clifton Car Park and Tory Street Car Park have spaces that can be reserved on a long-term basis. As these parks are in high demand, we have a waiting list that will be prioritised when these parks become available. Minimum term is 3 months.

Clifton Car Park

Four areas in Clifton Car Park are set aside for reserved parking:

  • Kumutoto (17 spaces) (under the Boulcott and Everton overpasses, southernmost section): $300 per month (including GST)
  • Clifton South (109 spaces) (by Kumutoto Lane, central section): $336 per month (including GST)
  • Clifton Terrace (86 spaces) (on Rosina Fell Lane, northernmost section): $418 per month (including GST)
  • Clifton Covered Area (45 spaces) (nested area in the main building): $448 per month (including GST)

Tory Street Car Park

Customers have two options for a monthly parking agreement.

  • Reserved parking: $406 per month (including GST)
    This grants you a specific space within the parking complex which is intended to be available 24/7.
  • Unreserved Parking Agreement: $336 per month (including GST)
    This grants you access to the casual parking area but not a specific space. This type of agreement means there is a chance a space will not be available every day. However, the cost is less than the daily casual rate.

Closed car parks

Car parks at Michael Fowler Centre and Civic Square are closed due construction work at Te Ngākau Civic Precinct.
