IN A REVERSAL of its August 2017 resolution, Byron Shire Council has swapped new parking meters for new parking time limits in the Bangalow CBD.
Strong campaigning by Bangalow residents and business owners means that new parking time limits will be introduced in January 2018 and monitored for 12 months, instead of parking meters.
BYRON SHIRE Council has received the perfect Christmas present from the NSW Government – $2.6million for the replacement of five old bridges.
The grant from the Fixing Country Roads program has been welcomed by Byron Shire Council’s Acting General Manager, Mark Arnold, who said it was like receiving an unexpected gift from Santa.
With pay parking in Bangalow set to commence on 1 January 2018, Council is reminding all Byron Shire residents to take advantage of the $55 E-Permit available to them.
Council records show that 58 per cent of Bangalow residents already have an E-Permit but if you need to renew or buy a new one, now is a good time, before the holiday rush.
RESIDENTS IN villages close to Bangalow will be offered the opportunity to buy an E permit when pay parking is introduced on 1 January 2018.
People living in Clunes, Newrybar, Rosebank, Nashua, Brooklet, Booyong and Repentance Creek will be able to apply for an E permit because many people use Bangalow as their primary place to do business.
