MELBOURNE, 16 June 2023 – EasyPark ANZ is delighted to confirm, that following a competitive tender process, it will partner with the City of Perth to begin rolling out its pay-by-phone parking service at selected locations across the CBD andneighbourhood.
The EasyPark App enables drivers to manage their parking through an innovative digital solution. The mobiletechnology is the most used in Australia with close to three million users and enables vehicle owners who use theApp to only pay for the time they occupy the parking space.
Eli Grossinger Binshtok, CEO at EasyPark ANZ said adding the City of Perth to its client list was a significant milestone.
“This is a huge moment for EasyPark ANZ and the Australian parking industry.
“Our vision is to make cities more livable and this is a significant step towards this. Our digital parking service solutionhas been downloaded by close to three million individuals, families, businesses, councils and Parking Operators in allStates and Territories.
“With the City of Perth now on board, we are confident more councils and customers will want to partner with us. Weare thrilled to develop this partnership and look forward to working with residents and the City council,” Mr GrossingerBinshtok said.
City of Perth Lord Mayor, Basil Zempilas, said the technology would make parking in the City more accessible.
“Embracing technology like this will vastly improve the parking experience in the City.
“EasyPark will roll out in more than 9,000 City car bays, first in 17 of our non-boom gated CPP carparks, before expanding to include on-street parking,” Mr Zempilas said.
The City of Perth is the latest major centre to partner with EasyPark ANZ. Already the largest pay-by-phone parkingApp service in Australia, EasyPark ANZ has established partnerships with more than 70 Australian councils and ParkingOperators including the capital cities of Melbourne (VIC), Canberra (ACT) and Hobart (TAS) and many notable otherslike City of Newcastle (NSW), Gold Coast Council (QLD), City of Greater Geelong (VIC) and Cairns RegionalCouncil (QLD).
In the Greater Perth Metropolitan region, the pay-by-phone service is already available to approximately 500,000 usershaving been first introduced in the area in 2014.
EasyPark ANZ’s Western Australia operations are currently active in the City of South Perth, City of Vincent, City ofStirling, City of Subiaco, City of Swan, St John of God Murdoch Hospital, Town of Cambridge, Town of Victoria Park,City of Melville, and the WA Health Department which includes Royal Perth Hospital, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Fremantle Hospital.
EasyPark ANZ, General Manager, Craig Logan said that by adding the City council to its already extensivenetwork across Perth and its neighbourhoods, drivers can have confidence that, be it for work or pleasure, they onlyneed one App for parking.
“The App is easy to download and use. Drivers simply set the start and end time and if they want to end or extendtheir session at a different time, they do so via the App, without having to return to the vehicle, only paying for the time they use.
“We are making parking easier for all parties. For the driver, the App is hassle free and for business customers, we canprovide a single, consolidated, monthly invoice, freeing up on-road reps from tedious form filling, and enablinggreater business efficiencies.
“The App works alongside current coin/card meters and the additional benefit for councils is that, in future, they won’thave to invest as much as they currently do in the management and maintenance of physical meters, enabling a betterredeployment of resources into other sectors.
“On top of this, there are environmental benefits for the City as the pay-by-phone service is ticketless, preventingtonnes of printed paper from landfill each year.
“So, we are excited with this new partnership and look forward to supporting City of Perth users through our dualcustomer contact centres which operate 365 days a year, including on public holidays, and with extended hours,” MrLogan said.
The first phase of the City of Perth rollout will apply to 17 carparks. Drivers can download the EasyPark App via theApple and Android app stores.
