Meters easy to operate: Use coins, cards or the app

While the new meters are solar powered, paperless and offer the latest technology, they remain as simple as ever to use.

They can be operated by coin or by tapping a card. When using coin or card tap at the meter, motorists will pay for a set time in advance.

Simply enter your vehicle registration number into the meter. There will be no paper tickets required for the dash board of your car.

The fee structure for the parking meters is $1.50 per hour, which can be paid in $0.10 cent (nine minute) increments, to a maximum of $3 (two hours).

To allow the two-hour limits to be effective, the CBD has been divided into two zones – the north and south side of Roberts Avenue. Once a motorist has spent two hours parked in one zone, they can move to the other zone and their two-hour limit starts again.

Signs will be erected in the CBD to alert motorists of the change and provide instructions on how to use the new meters.

EASY: Mayor Robyn Gulline helps visitors to operate the new meters last week.

Floor replacement on track

The refurbishment of Horsham Town Hall’s Heritage Hall remains on schedule.

Contractors are currently nailing new hardwood floorboards down and will be staining, sanding and coating the boards shortly.

The hall is scheduled to be back in operation at the end of June 2023.

Once completed, Horsham Town Hall will be able to use the hall for events, functions and performances.

The original timber boards in the 1939-built hall had reached the end of their useful life and Horsham Rural City Council successfully applied for a $200,000 grant from Heritage Victoria to replace the room’s entire surface with like-for-like boards.

The old boards will be stored in an area off-site until an appropriate project can be identified to repurpose them.

Copies of submissions received may be made available to any person. If you have any concerns, please contact Council’s Planning team on 03 5382 9798 or email council@hrcc.vic.gov.au.

An objection must be sent to Council in writing, include the reasons for the objection and state how the objector would be affected.

You may look at the application and any documents that support the application free of charge by contacting the Civic Centre or visiting Council’s website.

Council will not decide on the application before 24 March 2023.

Next Council Meeting: Monday 27 March 2023 - 5.30pm
