A popular parking app is offering Melbourne’s essential workers cheap all-day parking.
Parkhound has partnered with Care Park to offer $5 all-day parking for 15,000 spaces in 30 locations until August 31.
The areas include Melbourne’s CBD, Dandenong, South Yarra, Richmond, Bentleigh and some parts of regional Victoria.
Those visiting the city for essential work will also be able to snare discounted rates, when booked online or through the app.
Parkhound chief executive Mike Rosenbaum said he hoped the cheap rates would give Melburnians one less thing to worry about.
“They can reserve a parking space before they arrive, book online to avoid contact with public pay machines and they don’t need to move their car throughout the day to avoid parking fines,” Mr Rosenbaum said.
In April, it was revealed one part-time nurse was charged almost $80 a fortnight for parking in inner Melbourne.
Some doctors and nurses were also paying hefty parking bills after long drives to work — including many who have shifted from public transport to reduce infection risks.
