00:01My name is Annie. I live in Bulleye now, but I've lived in Moolongong CBD for a couple of years.
00:07I'm originally from Newcastle. I would say the parking situation in Moolongong is actually pretty good compared to Nui and
00:14Sydney.
00:16The flat rate of when you pay for parking is so much cheaper and you can kind of always get
00:21a spot.
00:23I feel like the free parking is probably dwindling a little bit which is sad, but there's still always spots
00:27and I'd say, yeah, overall it's a lot better than most of the other cities.
00:31I'm Addison. I live in Winoona. I actually find the parking in Woolongong pretty good.
00:37I get early bird parking before 9.30 in P3 car park and all I have to do is leave
00:43before 6, so it's actually pretty perfect.
00:45Otherwise, some parking lots around here, if you enter after 5.30, it's also free, so it actually fits a
00:53lot of my travel,
00:54so in the mornings as well as after.
00:57Hi, I'm Lesley. I'm from Winoona and I think that there should be more accessible parking, free parking,
01:03particularly for people who work. It encourages more people to come into the office, spend money in Woolongong
01:08and I just think that would improve safety for people as well.
01:13Fraser King, Woolongong near Northgong and coming to Woolongong almost every day.
01:19I don't drive myself, but I also know that parking can be annoying in town and often find myself avoiding
01:24the parking fees by going to park in different spots
01:30and have someone wait in the car while I go because it is annoying having to pay for parking.
01:34So I guess that's my thing and I also try to avoid driving in if I have to because of
01:38the free bus, you know.
01:39But it can be a nightmare to find a park if you're going into town. You have to park just
01:42to try and avoid the paid spots, you know.
01:45My name is Taylor and I'm from Thelmy and for parking it took us about 25 minutes to get parking
01:52after driving around a lot.
01:54We ended up finding paid parking, but yeah, it's expensive so not really happy about that.
02:00Hey, my name is Ben, Neil. I live in Ferry Meadow and parking in Woolongong, it's alright, but some, if
02:08you want to park for 10 minutes,
02:10if you want to park for 10 minutes, it's going to be like, you get a fine and it's not
02:14worth parking.
02:15So I reckon all free parking should be in Woolongong, especially on the streetwise.
02:20Like, underground's fine, but streetwise should be all free parking, no matter where you park on the street at all.
02:29So that's why I appeared forras everybody in the street and see, like for someone,
02:29because we don't get you off the hole unless we're going to berenant down there,
02:30because I haven't actually gone through that until like six or so I was just where I'm going.
02:31So that's why I saw.
02:31So the one way in the building that was my wood as you could set up groceries.
02:31We're just again looking at a tree to open up food doorasına and meeting up with hometowns.
02:31And now at the end, let's create a train of food doorless.
02:31So the thing that's оченьた powerful, tenemos.
