The Ticketless Parking system is smart technology designed to make entry and exit of carparks a breeze. The system uses licence plate technology to scan vehicle number plates at entry and exit calculating parking fees automatically.

At entry

  • The camera will read your licence plate number, record your time of entry, and raise the barrier arm
  • Drive in and park your car

Top Tip: remember to write down your licence plate number

Payment & exit

  • Go to the Pay Station and enter your licence plate number on the screen.
  • Your parking fee will be displayed – follow the payment process
  • Drive to the exit. The camera will recognise that your parking is paid, and the barrier arm will rise.

OR

  • Drive directly to the exit. The camera will read your licence plate, and display the parking fee on the screen
  • Tap to payWave at the exit, barrier will automatically raise (please note: payWave is the only method of payment at the exit barrier)

There are some occasions where tickets may be required e.g.

  • Dirty or unreadable licence plates
  • Motorcycle plates

If the barrier doesn’t raise on approach, customers can press for a ticket at entry, pay using the ticket at the payment machines, and use the ticket to exit.

Simply press for a ticket from the entry machine. You can pay as usual with a ticket at the payment machines.

In both car parks, if you stay under 15 minutes you can exit for free.

At the Pay Stations located between the main entrance and the car park.

Yes. payWave is available at the payment and exit machines. 

We get it – licence plate numbers can be hard to remember, but you’ll need it to calculate your payment at the pay machines. Taking a photo of your licence plate is a good idea, or you can simply drive to the exit and payWave at the barrier.
