Milford, Takapuna hit hard as parking fines soar
Auckland Transport (AT) pocketed over $1.7 million in parking fines across the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area last year, with Milford’s Kitchener Rd the hardest-hit street. The revenue was collected across 43,640 parking infringements – a jump of 41 per
cent on the 30,813 tickets issued in 2023. Tickets were issued for 3469 infringements on Kitchener Rd, followed by Takapuna’s Hurstmere Rd (3276), Anzac St (2724), Byron Ave (2509) and Huron St (1776), an AT response to an Official Information Act request by the Rangitoto
Observer reveals. Half of the tickets in 2024 were for overstaying a time limit, 38 per cent were for not paying and the rest for infringements such as double parking. Twenty Auckland Transport (AT) cameraTo page 2
