Car Parking Arrangements at the New Office in Townsville

Graham Perrett MP questioned Stuart Brazendale about car parking at the new Townsville office. Currently, there are 72 car parks at Aitken Vale, but the new site will have only 40. Stuart Brazendale suggested staff could use public transport or nearby car parks. The building will also have a public car park below their tenancy. The discussion covered alternative transport options, including electric vehicles for Services Australia's fleet, and the cost of street parking in Townsville. The key takeaways were the reduced car parking and the need for staff to consider alternative transport. The discussion concluded with an understanding of the new office's car parking arrangements and the potential for staff to adjust their transport plans.
