The parking fees will commence once the upgrade and expansion of airport parking is completed.
In approving the fee structure, administrator Dr Ian Tiley noted feedback provided by the greater New England community during the consultation period.
The airport parking fee structure will be:
- Parking for up to 3 hours – free
- Parking for over 3 hours, but not past midnight - $5
- Parking for over 3 hours, and past midnight (i.e. overnight) - $10
Passenger numbers at the airport have increased by 50 percent in the last 10 years and continues at an average annual growth rate of seven percent.
Some community members asked council to look at whether public transport might be improved to service the airport as part of their feedback.
