THE City of Melville has introduced a new electronic option for parking payments aimed at reducing hassle for motorists.
Melville Mayor Russell Aubrey said the parking by phone service, provided by EasyPark, offered motorists a fast and flexible way to pay for parking.
“The best thing about EasyPark is that you only pay for your expected parking duration by setting it and then stopping it when you return to your vehicle,” he said.
