Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) (a) I am not able to provide figures for each year. The last parking survey of major centres was undertaken in late May and early June 2009. Prior to that, the last survey undertaken was in 2001. A new survey has been commissioned and will be undertaken in May 2012. In relation to short- stay parking, the number of publicly available short-stay parking spaces recorded in the City in the 2009 survey was 1,397 spaces.
(b) The total number of long-stay spaces (4-hours or more) was 21,482 spaces, of which 12,507 were publicly available and 8,975 were for tenants.
(c) The fees applying to ACT Government pay parking spaces from mid-2007 until the present are set out in Attachment A.
