Parramatta Council Carshare Surcharge

We want to let you know about important changes being made to our service in your community that will see a Parramatta Council Surcharge added to dedicated bays in the Parramatta CBD area.

Parramatta Council charges higher annual fees for CBD ($4,428/year) and Ticketed parking areas ($2,583/year), and we are looking to pass these costs on to these specific locations to ensure equity across our service.

As such we will have to implement a Parramatta Council Surcharge on CBD dedicated bays (3 spaces) of $3 per hour capped at $18 per day and near CBD ticketed parking (3 spaces) of $2 per hour capped at $12 per day. This is intended to recover the cost from Council.

Carshare is a vital tool in the fight to reduce CO2 emissions and each carshare vehicle takes 10 privately owned vehicles off the road. We encourage councils not to disincentivise the uptake of carsharing within their LGA by applying additional charges for carshare bays that don’t apply to private vehicles parking on-street.

If you would like to contact the council to ask them to reduce the costs of carsharing in these areas you can reach out on their contact page.
