Griffith University Parking Letter |

Dear Resident, Over the past few weeks I have had several phone calls regarding the number of students parking in the residential streets in your area.
As you are aware, parking is the responsibility of the Gold Coast City Council and I understand that parking tickets have recently been issued to those breaching the parking by-laws.
From my discussions with contractors associated with the new Gold Coast University Hospital I can advise as follows:-
1. Bovis Lend Lease have instructed their workers to park on the Gold Coast University Hospital site;
2. Two car parks with a combined capacity of up to 3000 car parks will be built on Gold Coast University Hospital site asap;
3. The construction program takes into account the importance of
minimising the impact on surrounding precinct so car parks will be first thing to be built so that construction workers can park on the Gold Coast Hospital University Hospital site.
Obviously the above steps will do little to alleviate the parking problems in the short term however I am having further discussions with Griffith University to ascertain what further steps can be taken.
