Email us to request the offer

Email parkingleases@at.govt.nz at least 2 working days in advance. Include these details:

• subject: Victoria Street car park 50% discount for tradespeople
• your name
• the business you work for
• your work email address
• vehicle license plate number
• the date or dates you require a parking space (we'll accept dates up to 3 days either side of the date or dates you submit).

Once your request has been accepted and processed, you'll receive a confirmation email. This will let you know the offer has been activated and is ready to use.

Note that while the email confirms the offer, it does not reserve you a parking space.

Parking spaces

You can park in any of the available casual parking spaces on Levels 6 to 20. Ensure the space does not display a 'Reserved' or 'P30 Loading and Services Vehicles only' sign.

Parking is on a first come, first served basis. Although a parking space is not guaranteed, there will usually be spaces available in the car park. If the car park is at full capacity, you will need to arrange other parking.

Pay at the car park pay machines

You can only access the discounted rate by using the pay machines in the car park. You cannot use the AT Park app.

Enter your license plate number at one of the car park payment machines. If your email request for the offer has been processed, the discounted rate will display. Follow the instructions to complete payment.

The maximum $10 per day is until the car park closes. If your vehicle remains in the car park overnight, you will automatically be charged for the next day as well.

Parking for servicing and loading vehicles

Goods and services vehicle drivers can get free P30 parking in Victoria Street car park. There are even dedicated parking spaces you can use. These parks can also be used by small business owners who need to deliver goods to their stores in the city.

Ideal for quick pick-ups or drop-offs within the city centre.

Park free for 30 minutes

Parking is free for the first 30 minutes. Exit the building within 30 minutes and the barrier arms will automatically let you out.

Staying for longer than 30 minutes

If you need to park for longer than 30 minutes, use the casual parking spaces and pay the standard rates:

• $5.50 per hour Monday to Friday, 6am to 6pm
• $2.50 per hour after 6pm and on weekends.

Pay for parking at the machines in the car park or using the AT Park app.

  • 7 spaces on the right-hand side of the exit barriers
  • 4 spaces next to the glass doors
• on Level 6 (entry level):
  • spaces numbered 5, 6, and 7.
