City of Newcastle

The City of Newcastle has installed 70 new generation EZiPark GLOBAL Pay and Display Meters from CHS Parking Systems.
With a permanent resident population of around 150,000 and increasing visitors and tourism, Newcastle’s busy parking areas were in need of reliable and user friendly meters.

“ We chose GLOBAL Meters because of their reliability, audit capabilities and streamlined looks” says Mike Heather - Parking Services Coordinator for City of Newcastle

Our Service Technicians also wanted reliable modem communications to monitor and manage our meter fleet.

Within minutes of a fault occurring, our technicians are alerted via an SMS message from the meter to their mobile phones. The message tells them what the problem is before they get there which enables us to respond quickly keeping downtime to a minimum.”

Back at the office the EZiCom Management Software enables Newcastle City Personnel to check on their new meters’ performance. They can also see exactly how much coin there is in each of the Meters’ cash vaults at any time during the day, and generate an array of reports to satisfy the fussiest of Department Heads.

“ With EZiCom being a web based system it allows us the flexibility to login at any time to see what is happening with our machines.”

The GLOBAL’s on-line communications are in REAL TIME, which means that if the day comes when Newcastle offers Credit Card Payment for payment of their parking fees, all transactions will be pre authorised ON LINE. ( None of that ‘black listed’ card data needs to be held in the machine memory which needs to be constantly updated every day when transactions are made with off-line batching )

Being a coastal city the solid aluminium extruded cabinet will for many years out perform all other construction materials with rust free and non-corrosive attributes.

“ We have been happy with the way CHS Parking Systems have managed the implementation programme. We placed the initial order late last year and by the end of the first week in March all the machines were installed and operating with remote communications. “
