Canberra residents are set to feel the pinch as fees for National Capital Authority-controlled carparks increase from July 1, with the daily rate rising by more than 3 per cent.
The National Capital Authority has advised the daily rate will increase by 50 cents to $16 and the hourly rate will rise by 20 cents to $3.60 per hour. Five-day multi-day parking tickets will increase by $2.50 to $77.50.
This is in line with the increases announced in the 2018-19 federal budget.
In addition, users of the EasyPark App will incur a 10 per cent transaction fee or a 2.25 per cent service fee if they pay for a subscription.
Legislation has also been introduced that makes it an offence to park a vehicle on open space and landscaped areas.
