Council Car Park Rates

Time will accumulate if you re-enter the same car park within an hour of leaving. However the car parks are not linked, so you can move between different car parks.

St Leonards Central car park offers up to 2 hours free parking.

In all car parks, parking is free for entry after 6:00pm.
