A friendly reminder that paid parking has recommenced in some areas of the Tamworth CBD following the installation of new ticketless and cashless parking meters. Here are some things to keep in mind:

🚗 If you exceed the signposted time limit you must move your vehicle, in both paid and unpaid zones

🚗 All council-owned off-street parking is now free to park in all day, this includes the entirety of the Community Centre Car Park, the Hands of Fame Car Park, White Street Car Park and both Ray Walsh House Car Parks.

🚗 The Town Hall Car Park and Regional Playground Car Park are Free but a 3 Hour time restriction applies.

🚗 Parking in the CBD costs $1.20 per hour, however you can choose to pay in 15 minute increments at the meter, or one minute increments using the EasyPark app, which means you only pay for how long you stay

🚗 Paid parking on Peel Street is Monday to Friday 8:30am - 6pm. Time limits still apply on weekends; however, you DO NOT need to pay (as can be seen on the signs in the photo)

🚗 Paid parking in other areas of the CBD differs to Peel Street and drivers should take note of signage before leaving their vehicle

🚗 Please be mindful of the various loading zones located throughout the Tamworth CBD and remember that these are strictly designated for vehicles who are loading/unloading goods which support our local businesses

🚗 If your vehicle displays a valid Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) permit, you DO NOT need to pay for parking regardless of whether you park in a disabled space or a regular space

🚗 A number of new disabled parking bays have been installed in the CBD. Each bay has been installed with a marked “shared space” beside it. These “shared spaces” are not for parking and are designed to assist those entering/exiting their vehicle

🚗 Although we are using more technology now to assist with parking enforcement, Parking Rangers will still inspect vehicles that have been flagged as a potential overstay or not paying, before issuing an infringement

🚗 Revenue raised through parking infringements is invested back into maintaining and upgrading parking infrastructure throughout the region.

🏍️ There are 10 free all-day motorcycle parking spaces located in the Town Hall Car Park, just off Fitzroy Street.

There will be a continued rollout of minor changes across our parking network so please be aware of the signage applicable to the parking bay that you are using.

The Peel River is expected to hit Minor Flooding (3.0m) late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning and Moderate Flooding (4.2m) around 11pm Thursday evening.

As Australian business continues to stare down the barrel of a cost-of-doing-business crisis, the best vote is an informed vote which is why we are hosting a live and unscripted “Meet the Candidates” event on Wednesday 23 April at 5.30pm at Tamworth Town Hall.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from those vying for your vote on election day. With a facilitated discussion, we will dive into the key issues that matter most to business leaders and owners.

There is no doubt that if we want to see Tamworth and the New England continue to grow, we need to understand who has the best interests of our community in mind; who best understands the issues we face in regional Australia; who will advocate strongly on our behalf, and importantly, what policies underpin their position.

The Forum is free to attend and will be professionally moderated by 88.9fm Tamworth Radio Jim Booth and morning radio show host, Matt “MacCa” McCarthy. It will also be livestreamed to the wider New England electorate for those communities without a candidate debate.

Candidates will each be given the opportunity to introduce themselves and outline their policy platforms before being asked a series of questions by the MC’s followed by questions from the floor. We are pleased to confirm that 6 out of the 7 candidates have confirmed their attendance.
