Manukau is South Auckland’s civic, retail, and transport hub. With major shopping centres, education facilities and public services, demand for parking is high.
More people are choosing to live closer to the heart of Manukau, with new residential developments on the rise. The area also has a large student population, thanks to university campuses located right in the centre.
Manukau is becoming even more connected, with bus and rail interchanges and will benefit from the City Rail Link opening in 2026. It’s just minutes from the airport and motorway network, making it a key hub for commuters, students, and visitors alike.
We want Manukau’s streets and parking to work well for everyone.
We regularly make small changes to parking in Manukau and now’s the opportunity to take a big picture look to make sure it all works well together.

Project background
Auckland is growing and changing, and this impacts where people park.
Our streets are under increasing pressure to cater for a wide variety of needs within a finite road space, and simply widening these roads isn’t possible in many parts of the city.
Parking needs to be carefully managed so that our busy main roads can carry as many people and goods as possible, while being dynamic allowing these spaces to meet a variety of users and uses. We also need to ensure parking is available in our communities for those who need it.
In 2023 we updated our parking strategy following a comprehensive consultation process. More than 1,500 Aucklanders shared their views, helping shape a plan that explains how we manage parking and how this supports a better transport system for everyone. The strategy promotes more dynamic use of roads and streets so that road space can be used in different ways at different times of day, depending on travel demand.
We know every area is different. That’s why we regularly review parking across Auckland to identify where smarter parking management can help keep your city moving.
