It has just become easier for motorists looking for accessible parking in Bondi, Bondi Junction, Bronte, Tamarama and Waverley to find a bay with real-time sensor data now available on the NSW Government\u2019s Park\u2019nPay app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said the technology \u2013 the first roll-out of what will ultimately be over 3600 sensors across the State \u2013 means people with a disability can now better plan their journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is essential a smart State like NSW delivers digital solutions which are inclusive,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\u201cData from these new sensors will be uploaded to the Park\u2019nPay app where users will be able to locate accessible bays and see availability in real time.
\u201cThis tech means motorists with a disability can plan their journey with more confidence that their accessibility needs will be met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI congratulated Waverley Council for being the first council to come on board.\u201d
Member for Vaucluse Gabrielle Upton MP welcomed the new Park\u2019nPay initiative which will provide real-time availability of accessible bays across the Waverley Council area.
\u201cPark\u2019nPay, which is already operating throughout Waverley and Woollahra Council areas, provides information on the availability of parking spots so people can plan their journey with confidence and easily find and pay for parking,\u201d Ms Upton said.
\u201cThis means that local motorists and visitors with mobility parking permits can now find accessible parking at the tap of a button through the Park\u2019nPay app.
\u201cEveryone wants the opportunity to visit our iconic Eastern Suburbs Beaches and this is one way we can make that experience better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waverley Council is the first of 30 council areas across Sydney where the NSW Government will integrate sensors into 3600 accessible parking spots as part of a $1.8 million investment to uplift Park\u2019nPay\u2019s digital capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayor of Waverley, Paula Masselos, said the Council was committed to increasing opportunities for ways to support residents and visitors to participate positively in community life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis new sensor technology makes it easier for people who require accessible parking to plan and enjoy a great day out at the beach and our beautiful open spaces,\u201d Mayor Masselos said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt aligns with the aims of our Waverley Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2022-2026 which is to help our community feel that they can be active, healthy, valued and connected.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The real-time data will come online in the app as each council area is completed throughout 2022.
