Grey Lynn Residential Parking Zone Extension Grey Lynn Residential Parking Zone Extension

Proposal status: Feedback open until 29 June 2023

Reference number: RTV-482

We're proposing improvements in your area

In response to community requests to improve parking availability and flexibility, we are proposing to extend the Grey Lynn Residential Parking Zone (RPZ) to include: 

  • 194 to 244 Richmond Road 
  • 215 to 247 Richmond Road
  • Both sides of Westmoreland Street East

The Grey Lynn RPZ has a time restriction of 2 hours (P120), and operates from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Residents living within the RPZ can apply for a residential parking permit or coupons which will exempt them from the time restriction. Read more about RPZs here.

The proposed RPZ extension aims to:

  • Provide greater parking availability for residents and visitors. The 2-hour time restriction supports parking for business customers and casual residential visitors, while preventing non-resident long-term parking.
  • Reduce the number of vehicles driving around looking for parking spaces. Fewer circling vehicles should also reduce noise, pollution, and improve pedestrian safety.
  • Discourage parked vehicles from obstructing driveways, as more parking will be available.

The proposed extension area would be subject to the same terms and conditions as the existing Grey Lynn RPZ, including a yearly permit application fee.
