As shown in Table 3-3, the overall parking utilisation as determined via the initial aerial imagery was
approximately equivalent to the average parking utilisation of the observational surveys and were within the
band of utilisations observed (low and high utilisation), with the exception of Hastings Street, which at 78%
utilisation is lower than the lowest observation survey utilisation.
