Renewal of on-street parking meters

With Telstra's announcement of 3G service closure in June 2024, Council's current fleet of on-street parking meters need an upgrade to allow 4G or 5G services.

Rather than upgrade one component, this is also an opportunity to upgrade the entire fleet to a new generation to ensure continued and reliable operation into the future.
