Users have the option of paying with Visa, AMEX, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.<br \/>\nParking inspectors can search for licence plate details using an app on their phone to see if a meter has been paid. Parking meters will continue to accept coins and credit cards.<br \/>\nThe app already exists in the following councils \u2013 Liverpool, The Rocks, Burwood, Hunters Hill, Mosman, Central Coast, Port Stephens, Willoughby, Cumberland and with Park&amp;Ride.<br \/>\nFor more information visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parknpay.nsw.gov.au\/\">www.parknpay.nsw.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers in the Northern Beaches will be able to pay for and top up their parking online, thanks to the NSW Government\u2019s popular Park\u2019nPay app going live in the region.
