New Fix For Parking Confusion?
Hobart City Council is tackling parking confusion by installing durable, marine-grade aluminium bay number plates across the CBD.
These new markers replace faded or damaged numbers, making it easier for drivers to identify parking spots when using meters or the EasyPark app.
Over 400 plates have already been installed on streets like Davey, Macquarie, Collins, and Liverpool, with approximately 2,000 more planned for the coming year.
