According to The City of Cape Town, parking marshals will gradually start returning to Sea Point, Cape Town CBD, Newlands, Claremont, and Bellville from November.
Furthermore, long-stay parking will also be introduced on the fringes of the Cape Town CBD for residents who work in the city bowl area.
Parking marshals to receive training in Sea Point
Parking marshals will return to Sea Point on Tuesday, 2 November. This specific area is focused on first ensuring a turnover of bays for those visiting in the area.
The marshals will also receive their training in Sea Point and will be deployed to the CBD area, Claremont, and Newlands before the end of November.
According to The City, marshals will only be deployed in Bellville by the end of March 2022.
And the City also states that over 200 jobs will be created as part of its new parking management contract.
Here’s how much it will cost for on-street parking:
- Sea Point, CBD, Claremont: R4,80 per 15 minutes
- Bellville and Newlands: R3,40 per 15 minutes
Here’s how much the long-stay parking will cost:
- For less than 4,5 hours: R30
- Between 4,5 and 9 hours: R50
According to Rob Quintas, a Mayoral Committee member for Transport City of Cape Town, officials wanted to inform motorists ahead of time.
“The purpose of charging a tariff for on-street parking bays is to ensure a turnover of bays in popular areas and where people do business. This will benefit business owners because their clients need parking, and those who are looking for parking will also benefit because parking bays will not be hogged for hours on end by the same person.”
