Extending Paid Parking Hours in the Brisbane CBD
November 22, 2012
City Restauranteurs are furious about the Brisbane City Council’s increased restrictions and fees for parking in the Brisbane CBD, and they’re not taking it lying down.
They are petitioning the Mayor of Brisbane City Council Graham Quirk to repeal the changes to ensure that city restaurants and businesses don’t close down.
Restaurant Two owner and head Chef David Pugh said “At the end of the day it’s an unfair extra cost for city customers at a time we should be encouraging people to spend money and stimulate the local economy. Council needs to take responsibility for their decisions and understand that they have significant impacts for local businesses. Brett’s Wharf closed down earlier this year because of this kind of stupid decision making, and I’m sure these parking fees and restrictions will do the same thing for city venues.”
“To be frank, I think the only reason Council need to do this is to pay for the Clem 7 and the Legacy Way. I have stayed in Business for 14 years by being financially responsible and not spending money I don’t have. We have already seen one successful restaurant close down this year, all because of council’s indecision about a road upgrade, and I think it’s time for small business to say- we are not a piggy bank. You built those tunnels, so you pay for them. Don’t dig into the pockets of small businesses and ratepayers to cover your backsides. This decision WILL close down some restaurants in the CBD, there is no two ways about that.”
Moda Owner and Head Chef Javier Codina is also concerned about the time restrictions that will apply until 10pm at night. “The average sitting time at most city venues is well over two hours, these restrictions will prevent our customers from using off street parking at all. Many of my diners make dinner reservations for 7pm so they don’t have to pay for parking. It’s not hard to see that this will result in diners staying home rather than coming out.”
Javier and David are just two of the many restaurant owners who will be impacted, and they are calling on Brisbane City Council to revoke the changes. Says David “This is a massive change to transportation in the city, and it should have been mentioned at the election, which was only 6 months ago. They don’t have a mandate to implement these charges, so they should do the right thing and reverse the decision.”
