Congestion Levy Solution
The Congestion Levy (Victoria) or Parking Levy (New South Wales) is an annual charge on off-street parking spaces, designed to reduce traffic congestion by encouraging public transport use. It applies to both private and public car parks and can have a significant impact on your asset’s revenue and value.
Getting it wrong can mean overpaying tens of thousands each year, unhappy tenants, and missed commercial opportunities.
