Is the Trusts new parking scheme primarily aimed at raising revenue?
No, it is a factor but not the primary one. The main reason is to facilitate increased public access and ensure balanced use of the limited parking spaces at Middle Head by multiple user groups, as visitation increases as we revitalise the precinct. Paid parking will however help to pay for these new facilities at Middle Head, as the Trust emulates the successful restoration of Georges Heights and Chowder Bay at this precinct. The Trust is now a self-funding agency, so revenue raised from paid parking will be reinvested into the Trust’s sites, which are free of charge and open to all, ensuring that their long term future as public sites is secured.
