(a) The installation of the Parking Vending Machine footings was part of the contract to extend the car parking facility at Currambine station by 250 bays. The individual cost is therefore difficult to estimate.
(b) The preliminary work to install more cash Parking Vending Machines preceded the decision to implement full paid parking. Given the advent of SmartParker, a much more efficient paid parking solution; there is no timeline to install cash Parking Vending Machines at Currambine station.
