YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL AT WORK

Paid parking will return to the Ophir Car Park from Monday 8 May 2023 after being paused by Orange City Council during the pandemic and throughout the upgrade in Lords Place.

Orange Deputy Mayor Gerald Power is asking residents to make sure they are aware of the change ahead of time.

“It’s important for drivers to be aware of this change so they can make a choice about where to park and be prepared to pay for using all-day parking in Ophir car park to avoid being fined,” Cr Power said.

“Businesses are telling us it’s time for paid parking to be reinstated to encourage more parking turnover in the CBD.”

While paid parking will return to the Ophir Car Park, 36 spaces on the Kite and Moulder Street fringes of the car park will remain as free 2-hour spaces. All other spots will stay as all-day car
