Smarter parking for the city centre*

Warrnambool City Council, Victoria, has chosen CellOPark to modernise parking in the regional city’s central business district.

CellOPark Australia, the leading provider of integrated parking solutions in Australia, offers a suite of smarter parking solutions which include pay-by-phone, pay-by-app, pay-by-web, and vPermits (virtual permits) in conjunction with pay-by-plate meters.

Council’s Director City Infrastructure, Scott Cavanagh, said,

“Residents and visitors now have access to a smarter parking system that provides ticketless parking and the ability to stop the clock and pay only for the time you use.The new solution is more convenient because people can simply tap in their details and continue on their way. The app offers even greater convenience because you don’t have to use the parking meter at all.”

With a global push towards improving urban quality of life through digital innovation using futureproof infrastructure, Warrnambool City Council has moved towards a holistic integrated solution and is leading the charge into the Smarter City global trend.

“CellOPark assisted the council in replacing their previous systems to a more flexible solution that allowed for the future growth of the city.”

This customer-focused decision has proven itself and with an increase in uptake of more than 500 percent within four months. CellOPark Australia has been providing award winning leading-edge parking technologies since 2008 and bases its success on an ability to work with their customers to constantly develop and enhance existing platforms.
