Congestion Levy in Melbourne and Sydney

Congestion Levy in Melbourne and Sydney

The State Government imposed congestion levy (also commonly known as a parking tax) has been in place in Melbourne and Sydney for a number of years now.

On 2 October 2017, an article was published in the Herald Sun from the Grattan Institute in relation to road congestion in both Melbourne and Sydney.

The article failed to address the issue of “on-street parking” which is one of the greatest causes of congestion.

Motorists who use parking meters have contributed to the City of Melbourne’s parking revenue record of $49.9 million exceeding the budget forecast by 8.2%.

The Grattan Institute urged the Victorian Government to increase Melbourne’s annual CBD parking space levy from $1,380 to about $2,400 which would then match Sydney.
