Parking meters – how to pay
Our parking meters are now narrower, solar-powered and no longer contain buttons – leaving room for a large touch screen.
If the screen is blank, it is in power-saving mode.
To awaken, press ‘Touch Here To Start’ underneath the touch screen then follow the steps below:
- Enter your number plate and press continue
- Press the RIGHT + MORE button to increase the parking time or
- LEFT – LESS button to decrease the parking time period until it meets the required parking time
- Tap your debit/debit card or smart device on the black payWave square
- Wait 3 to 5 seconds for the meter to process your card payment
- If you would like an e-receipt, select ‘Yes’
- Scan the QR code or enter the URL that appears on screen and enter the code to download and press ‘Continue’
- The transaction is now completed with the end screen displaying the time your parking will finish
Payment options – debit/credit card or smart devices
Parking meters accept payment using payWave on debit/credit card (Visa and MasterCard only) as well as prepaid cards and smart devices.
If you would like to use AMEX, please use the app or the PayStay Guest website via a smart device.
You have the option of paying with your smartphone via the PayStay Guest website as an alternative to paying directly on the parking meter screen. Use your smartphone to scan the QR code on the front of the parking meter screen to be taken directly to PayStay Guest.
To avoid fines, you must obey signs relevant to your parking space.
If you encounter any problems with the meters, please report faults to the service line on 1300 322 263.
