Enforcement

As the new parking solutions take place, there is a need for enforcement to ensure demand and agreed processes are managed. Enforcement is managed by Intellico and the parking ambassadors will be patrolling the carparks during the day to ensure compliance.

Enforcement will apply in the following (but not limited to) circumstances:

  • Non-payment of parking in the general parking areas of ?tara north, TechPark and Manukau
  • Parking in reserved areas including visitors and staff reserved spaces
  • Parking in unmarked areas such as footpaths, entryways, grass berms.

Comprehensive signage is (will be) installed to let our users know where to park.

For any users that are non-compliant with the conditions of parking, a $65 breach notice will be issued.??If you wish to challenge the breach you can go to the LPR enforcement services website and navigate through to the MIT fine payments page.?MIT reserve the right to excluded and/or tow users from any MIT carparks due to non-payment of breach notices.

If you would like to extend the payment date of the breach notice, you can contact admin@lpr.co.nz and advise the breach notice number and your vehicle registration and request an extension.
