Currently, in Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai - Lower Hutt city centre and the Melling area, there are 3250 public on-street and off-street carparks. Developing the project will result in a loss of approximately 600 public car parks in various locations, on both sides of the river. Many of these parking areas are permanently needed for the construction of stop banks and the Riverbank car park. This car park will be smaller than its current capacity, but work is ongoing to understand parking needs and how best to accommodate these both during construction, and once the project is complete.
