Residents in Sydney’s north are set to receive cashless parking meters as council pushes for upgrades, however not everyone is happy with the change. North Sydney Council announced the decision to update their parking meters ahead of the nationwide 3G network shutdown, using the opportunity to install cashless paid parking systems. “Our parking meters are changing due to the upcoming Australiawide shutdown of the 3G network,” the council said in a statement.
Council cited multiple reasons for going cashless, including a lack of coins being used to pay for parking. “Over the past year, the number of people paying with coins for parking has lowered to less than 4 per cent,” it said. “Malfunctions in our existing parking meters occur primarily due to coin-box vandalism and jams. “The removal of coin payments ensures our parking meters’ reliability long-term, as it decreases these ongoing maintenance costs.
