Retain free motorbike parking in Wellington (Petition)

Free parking has long been one of the attractions of motorcycle riding, particularly for those who commute. Wellington City Council is currently reviewing their policy on charging for motorcycle parking. Their decision could set a precedent for other regions of the country, affecting not only Wellington riders but everyone on two wheels. BRONZ Wellington has launched a campaign to 'Keep Wellington a Motorcycle Friendly City, keep our parking as it is!'.

Riders from all regions, take a moment to add your name to the petition and ensure that riding continues to be a cheap and viable option.

We, the undersigned, request that Wellington City Council continue to provide free parking for motorcycles within the Wellington Central City at the current designated motorcycle parking spaces. [Wellington City] Council is currently reviewing how it manages motorcycle parking within the Central Area, in accordance with its Parking Policy.

This petition requests, when considering options around how parking is managed in the future, that the possibility of charging for on-road motorcycle parking is excluded from the various options being considered.

This position calls on WCC to keep current motorcycle parking spaces in the Central City free for motorcyclists to use.
