FEES for parking in the expanded multi-deck Grampians Health Mair Street car park behind the Ballarat Base Hospital are returning from 3 February.<\/p>\n
Vehicles in the eight-level car park for more than three hours will be charged. The multi-deck lot has 400 additional free-timed spaces since it was upgraded in 2024.<\/p>\n
Grampians Health CEO Dale Fraser said the fees will help the health service maintain the facility, boost security, and aim to improve the user experience.<\/p>\n
“More importantly, Grampians Health will help ensure that resources are not diverted from direct patient care services to support car parking management,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Over the past few months, we have provided free car parking to our staff and the community as a thank you for their patience and support during the expansion works.<\/p>\n
“However, it is now time to reintroduce parking fees.<\/p>\n
“We will continue to offer free-timed parking for all in our community and also a discounted staff rate.<\/p>\n
“To receive three hours of free-timed parking, tickets must be validated at our main reception on the ground floor of the GP Foyer.<\/p>\n
“We believe this change will ultimately benefit our entire community, and most importantly, provide greater access to healthcare services.”<\/p>\n
From Monday 3 February, 30 minutes of parking is free, 30 mins to one hour is free with a validated ticket or $3, one to two hours is free with a validated ticket or $6, and two to three hours is free with a validated ticket or $9.<\/p>\n
Three to four hours costs $12, it’s $15 or four to five hours, $18 for five to six hours, $21 for six to seven hours, and seven to eight hours (24 hours) is $22.50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
