Topic: Cheap Parking in the City on weekends?

Until recently, whenever we would go into the city after hours (either after 6pm weeknights, or on weekends), pretty much every carpark would offer a $10 flat rate for parking (we mainly parked in Queens Plaza).

Recently we went in, and got stung $14 for parking in Queens Plaza for parking between 8pm and 11:30pm on a weeknight. After a quick google, it seems that most places are charging upwards of $18 on a weekend for parking.

Anyone know of a good cheap place to park in the City nowadays if we just wanna go shopping on the weekend or something?

Get there early and look for spots on the streets. Last week I got lucky and didn't have to pay a cent and was only a block from Queen St mall. There's a couple of construction sites around the place, so check the signs out the front really carefully, because most of them you can park out the front of.

I got secret Aus Post spots that I jew for free, BAM!

Though seriously, Saturday roughly 95+% of Aus Post spots are up for grabs, Sunday 100% are... just suss them out and you won't be disappointed.

You never get towed on a weekend, fact.

If it's offstreet, it's good for weekends... fact.

Hangar boxes or Post Offices are no go, you will get owned in the CBD.

There's literally 30+ in the CBD and 10+ every suburb... you will never get towed in these spots.

I just got 10 mins of parking at QUT Gardens Point for 40 bucks. Sweet deal huh. I was pretty tempted to run the c*** over, the carpark was 50% empty.

I think the open-air lot on Herschel St is $5. Honestly you're better off parking somewhere 2 suburbs away and getting a train or bus in, unless you've got something mega bulky to lug home.

mary and margaret and alice streets are usually pretty decent for free parks. myer center offers $4 parking if you see a movie, i think it's reasonably cheap otherwise.

there's also festival parking on charlotte street but i think that's pretty exxy.

Go park in myer centre, then on your way home go to the bunker, buy a coke or something and get your parking ticket stamped, $6 parking for myer centre

Phar, Whenever iv gone in on the weekend iv used King George Square carpark. If never been in over 5 hours but its meant to be $8 for the whole day. The front of it is under reno's atm so it looks like a hole in the wall but it is open and it is cheap.

I'm pretty sure Myer centre is 13$ all day on weekends

and it's not usually all that packed either.

15 mins free, 2hrs for $2, 5hrs for $8 and overnight = $10 in my building (valley) if you dont mind a bit of a walk
that said theres place across the road (near the servo under webcentral/gotha street) that are free and always seem to be open
I'd never park my whip there but I'll let my bitches park hers there all night, who's going to steal a mazda?
