Saturday visits to Burnie are set to become a little easier, with free all-day parking in Council-owned off-street car parks commencing Saturday, 14 November, as part of a six-month trial.
Council owns approximately 41% of public parking spaces in the CBD. The initiative forms part of Burnie City Council's Parking Operational Action Plan 2026–2030, which aims to improve parking opportunities and support a vibrant and accessible city centre.
The trial is designed to encourage people to visit Burnie's City Centre on Saturdays, providing an opportunity to shop locally, enjoy hospitality and explore the city.
Free all-day Saturday parking will apply to the following Council-owned off-street car parks:
Please note: The free parking trial applies to Council-owned off-street car parks only. All on-street parking fees, time limits and other parking regulations continue to apply, and will still be enforced.
