A boil water is in place for businesses and properties across Queenstown following a number of confirmed local cases of illness caused by the protozoa, cryptosporidium. This affects all properties serviced by the Council’s Queenstown supply including Frankton, Quail Rise and Tucker Beach Rd, Kelvin Heights and Hanley’s Farm. Read more here.

From Monday 18 September there will be no parking available directly outside the Gorge Road Council office due to construction activity associated with the Town Centre Arterial Road. Our Gorge Road Council office will be open as usual. But if you’d prefer, you can make use of our online services via our website or give us a call on 03 441 0499.

The state of local emergency in Queenstown, originally declared on Friday morning after a severe weather event, has been lifted. However, some restrictions will remain in place to protect public safety as the focus turns to recovery. Full information here.

PayMyPark

Download PayMyPark and pay for parking with your smartphone.

With the PayMyPark parking app you will be able to pay for your parking from your smartphone and extend your time remotely. No more searching for coins, no receipt needed and pay only for your actual parking time.

Available at Council parking locations throughout Queenstown.

Using PayMyPark

Download PayMyPark for free from the iTunes Apple Store or Google Play

If you don't have a smartphone, you can pay for parking using the PayMyPark website.

You can choose to pay per session as a casual user, or set up an account.

Casual users pay a fee on each transaction (50c), while account holders only pay when they transfer money to their PayMyPark account. Account holders can also use a start-stop function, which means they only pay for the time they've parked.

Businesses can set up one account for all staff members to use. 

Further information and videos are on the PayMyPark website.
