Tauranga City Council has advised that work will commence this Monday to add a new floor with a further 110 car parks to the Elizabeth Street parking building.

Council advises development of the new parking floor will be disruptive at times, with some of the existing parking spaces being knocked out of action during construction.
The work is expected to take about five months to complete.
Later this year, the Spring Street and Elizabeth Street parking buildings will be fully automated in a bid to enable more flexibility with opening hours.
Council says it will mean the parking buildings can be opened to help cater for major weekend events if needed.
There's also plans to add 30 new parking spaces to the Dive Crescent pay and display parking area.
With the relocation of the Foodbank, two small car parks on Dive Crescent will be extended to one larger pay and display car park with 30 new spaces.
The extra pay and display carparks are due to be finished about Easter this year.

Move most of the council staff out of their offices in downtown Tauranga and into cheaper office space elsewhere and there would instantly be many, many more parking spaces available and they would create revenue.
Great

And guess what, there will be more people out of work because of the automation.

They already lease part of two floors and will need extra parking once their new building on the old Bay Times site is completed.
