NZ First Official Information Request Response - Electronic Parking Meter Revenue.
Friday, 13 February 2015 14:56:21
Dear
,
Further to your information request of 13 January 2015 in respect of credit and debit card
transactions and fees collected via electronic parking meters, I am now able to provide Hamilton City
Council’s response.
You requested:
1.
“What is the total revenue the Hamilton City Council has received in
credit card and debit payments for parking fines for each financial year
since 2008.”
We do not collect information on the method of payment and therefore, cannot distinguish between
electronic transactions (such as credit card and debit payments) and other methods of payment such
as cash.
The table below provides the total revenue received via all payment mechanisms for parking fines
and infringements since 2008.

2.
“What has been the electronic transaction fees collected by electronic
parking meters in each financial year since 2008.” Pay and Display machines were first introduced to on street parking in approximately 2009. We only
started distinguishing between revenue received from pay and display machines and parking metres
during the 2011/12 financial year, and therefore, we can only provide information relating to on
street pay and display machines from 2011/12 onwards. Pay and display machines have been in place
in our off street parking facilities for at least the past 8 years.
We do not collect information on the method of payment used with pay and display machines and
therefore cannot distinguish between electronic transactions and cash transactions.
The table below provides the total revenue received by pay and display machines via all payment
mechanisms, where this information is available.
