WCC are reviewing the Residents Parking and Coupon Parking schemes in inner city suburbs, including Mt Cook.  

According to Wellington City Council, Mt Cook has 1248 households with an average of one car per household.  There are 644 off-street parks, leaving 604 car owners to park in the 938 Residents or Coupon parks.  

In Mt Cook there are 726 residents or coupon excemption permits currently issued.

On the face of it, all this seems fine.  Are you having trouble parking in your street? Add your comments and suggestions by clicking on “Comments” above.

  1. Definitely issues parking in Mount Cook! I live in newly completed QM apartments located at number 1 Hanson Street. Problem is – wellington city council don’t recognise this in their residential parking zoning. When I recently applied for a residents parking permit, was denied as the zoning starts at number 2 Hanson Street – frustrating! apparently nothing that can be done here according to the council – any thoughts from anyone??

  2. Hi Angela, not sure if you have passed this by one of our Lambton Ward Councillors for comment? It sounds like a nasty case of the tail wagging the dog to me. Hope you don’t mind – I have passed your comment to Iona Pannett for a second opinion. Cheers.

  3. They should put a good parking system

    cheers

  4. Council have updated their Residents Parking map to include 1 Hanson St (QM Apartments). N.B. The Council’s Inner City Residents and Coupon Parking Review will begin in the next few months, there is no guarantee that the updated map will not change again.

  5. I caught a guilty look from a warden giving a ticket in Hansen St to a car presumably in a resident zone without a coupon, tonight Sunday at 8pm. I am locked in a ghastly situation with WCC who allege our car in resident area of Ranfurly. When I asked for evidence, that I did not do this, and it was refused, I asked for a hearing which it purported not to receive and so on to court and a clamping ($170) tho engaged in trying to disentangle with several visits to Parking/court but so far no amount of this unpleasantness, Iona P intervening etc has done nothing to justify why got the ticket in first place, or why explanation was turned down, or why no proof offered (got a ticket for not displaying coupon 2 yrs ago when it was on windscreen -ages to extricate, no WCC apology)or why it didn’t get my letter asking for hearing etc etc. Such blatant and careless and unfair revenue gathering must be stopped!
