New car parking app
is motorists’ dream
A new mobile phone application and website advising of car bay availability in City of Perth Parking (CPP) car parks has been launched.
Lord Mayor, Lisa Scaffidi said the new app was an Australian first and would be a handy tool for drivers to find information on the nearest City of Perth Parking car park.
“These new developments are necessary to help stay abreast of the way people consume new media,” Cr Scaffidi said.
“The new website and parking app can offer alternative media sources for tech-savvy people wanting instant updates on parking availability at CPP car parks.”

She said it should help to avoid the frustration that sometimes came with accessing a parking space by allowing commuters and visitors the ability to plan ahead.
“It will also be possible for customers to save money by being aware of the various pricing scales at different car parks,” she said.
Cr Scaffidi said some of the website’s features included real-time parking availability; a ‘Find Your Car’ locator; car pooling rates; a directory of all CPP car parks; payment options; promotional offers; and up to date City of Perth Parking news.
She said the iPhone and Android application was available now for download in the iPhone App Store and Android Market.
