Parking

The CBD area in Gore is controlled by parking meters and time restricted areas. Please ensure that you comply with the restrictions that are in place when parking within the CBD area.

Free Public Carparks:

  • Brennan Lane Carpark is free to park in but has a 2 hour time restriction
  • Tamworth Lane carpark has no restriction.
  •  
  • Both of these Carparks are within walking distance to all shops and cafes

Mobility Parking:

Parking costs $1.00 per hour and the meters accept NZ currency only.

If you have received a parking infringement notice, you may pay for this at the Gore Council Offices, 29 Civic Avenue; at Destination Gore Visitor Centre, Crn Norfolk Street and Hokonui Drive, Gore; the Mataura Service Centre, 1 Bridge Street, Mataura; or via electronic banking.

You may lodge an explanation regarding an infringement notice you have received. All explanations must be in writing and Council will advise you accordingly of the decision.

Please note that the Gore District Council does not monitor business-owned carparks, such as supermarkets, warehouses etc.

Tradespeople working in CBD:

There are, on a number of occasions, tradespeople who need to use parking spaces in the CBD while working on buildings or shops. Parking spaces are available for all tradespeople to hire on a daily basis.

To hire parking spaces please contact the Parking Department on 209 0330 to make arrangements.

Council have no issue with tradespersons using any parking spaces (metered or time zoned) while working in the CBD and advise that you must contact the Parking Department before using these spaces.

Tradespeople who do not feed the meter or have not hired a parking space will be issued with an infringement notice for failing to comply with the parking restrictions.
