Geelong CBD Parking Meter Locations And Rates

Geospatial point data maps all parking ticket machines within Geelong's Central Business District. Each machine record includes a unique UnitID for fault reporting, a TimeLimit in hours, an hourly Rate, payment Days, and HoursOper. The City of Greater Geelong maintains this asset inventory, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of parking meters using geospatial coordinates to identify coverage gaps in the CBD.
• Calculate potential parking revenue by cross-referencing Rate and TimeLimit fields with local traffic or event data.
• Optimize maintenance routes by clustering machines based on UnitID and reported fault locations.
• Model driver compliance by comparing HoursOper and Days fields against parking violation data for specific time periods.
• Develop a public parking information app that displays real-time payment rules using Rate, TimeLimit, and HoursOper data.

Strengths

• Data covers all ticket machines in a defined Central Business District, providing complete areal coverage.
• Includes multiple operational attributes like Rate, TimeLimit, Days, and HoursOper per machine for detailed analysis.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license by the authoritative local government source.

Limitations

• Dataset size, row count, and specific geographic extent beyond 'CBD' are unknown.
• No temporal data on when machines were installed or historical rate changes is provided.
• Data is limited to a single municipality's CBD, limiting broader regional analysis.
