 The Parking Association of Australia is a non-profit organisation.
The Parking Association of Australia Inc. is the national organisation that represents the best interests of the parking industry whose purpose is to provide leadership, education, technical and other information to the parking profession and related fields.
The Parking Association of Australia was founded in Perth in July 1987 as an outcome of a Capital Cities Lord Mayors Conference. The Lord Mayors felt that there was value in having an organisation that would bring together the various elements of, and promote excellence in the control and management of public parking facilities.
The Association has since then represented a broad cross section of local government and statutory authorities, parking operators, service providers and suppliers to the parking industry.
The Associations achievements include the latest developments in parking meter technology, Smart Card technology, parking enforcement equipment trials, a scholarship for all members and their employees and financial support for the establishment of a distance learning education program with Monash University. The Association holds bi-annual Conventions aimed primarily at informing the decision makers in the government sector, developers and owners of properties, and other related professionals, of current best practice, latest technologies, knowledge and information spanning all relevant issues in parking.
The Committee of Management administers the Associations affairs and normally represents the broadest possible range of professionals from various States, local government, parking operators, equipment suppliers, and planning and development consultants.
