CAIRNS CBD PARKING MADE EASIER!

Posted on 24/02/2019 by

Parking Inspectors are on patrol Monday to Sunday 830am till 6pm
within the CBD, which include Wharf st,  McLeod st, Florence st and the Esplanade
Street Parking outside the CBD between Ellis Beach and Gordonvale has a 8 hour limit but it’s not patrolled.  Council staff will act on public complaints.
Valid Disability Parking Permits let’s you park in the CBD without a parking ticket if you:
  • Park in a designated Disability zones.
  • Park in a designated parking zone except  2 and 5 minute parking
  • Loading zones
loading Zones 
If your require access to designated loading zone you must be driving a commercial vehicle or ute. if not, you can purchase a yearly pass. The pass will set you back $80.00 which is a lot cheaper than the $120.00 fine. Loading zones are constantly monitored and vehicles are marked and logged by parking inspectors.
Currently centre of the road parking is monitored by a camera car.
Soon the centre road parking bays will be monitored by a discrete sensor that will notify inspectors instantly. The initial sensor rollout starts shortly in Grafton St.
If you do get a a parking infingement notice and you see the parking inspector near by, feel free to approach him/her in a friendly manner and have a conversation as to why you exceed the time limit. If  you have a valid reason they have the discretion to cancel or issue a warning notice. Remember you can always lodge parking infringement dispute directly with our local council office in Spence st.
If you are unsure of the parking regulations speak to the friendly staff as they are happy to educate you on the rule and regulations.
Something I leaned today:  Parking inspectors do not have targets or financial ticket incentives. Remember they are a valued member of out community and help keep the cars moving.

Cairns is currently celebrating Chinese New Year 2019. Last Saturday we had an amazing event in Grafton with continuous entertainment and a range of Yummy authentic Asian foods. It was truely a amazing night. Check out the attached clip and give me feedback. See you next update.

I just learn’t a few facts: A lot of the asian countries celebrate Chinese New Year. It’s Good luck to cut your hair. Don’t wash your hair that’s not good. Lucky number is 8. Good colours Gold and Red. Good Luck to prepare a whole fish for the celebrations (That’s if everyone else doesn’t have the same idea). Rain is good luck, it washes the city.

Most Importantly, if you are a PIG in the chinese astrology ,this is your year and extra special for you and ME!!
