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

Proposal status: Closed

Reference number: RTV-482

Proposal outcome 

In October 2023, we re-consulted on an amended proposal to extend the Grey Lynn Residential Parking Zone (RPZ). After reviewing all the feedback we received, we will not be extending the Grey Lynn RPZ.

Overall, the community told us that they would not benefit from these changes. The cost of the residential parking permit, and the negative financial impact it would have on residents was a common theme in the feedback we received.

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.
