Katikati to Tauranga bus commuters may have noticed the all-day parking on Talisman Drive is now limited to four hours.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council, in consultation with the Katikati Community Board, made the changes as a way to free up car parks in town for shoppers.
What this means for bus commuters is that while you will no longer be able to park on Talisman Drive all day there are two other options nearby:
- Middlebrook Drive's Moore Park - is a designated park-and-ride space. The commuter bus will stop here for pick-ups and drop-offs as part of its regular route when finalised. For more info phone 0800 BAYBUS
- Kotahi Lane by State Highway 2 - parking here is available all day and is perfect for those who want to catch the bus from the Memorial Hall.
