[Update to post, 23 June] The comments at the end of this post are worthwhile reading and we welcome you to participate. As I mentioned earlier this month the petition for the Park and Ride at Carindale, which obtained 274 signatures, was referred to the Minister for Transport, Annastacia Palaszczuk MP.

Ms Palaszczuk has said that Carindale is not considered a suitable site for a park ‘n’ ride.

Also of interest, an article in the Courier Mail today reports that Westfield Chermside is to introduce paid parking after three-hour limit for free parking.

On Twitter today, Cr Adrian Schrinner said: “if paid parking is introduced at Chermside, it’s only a matter of time before it comes to Carindale and other major shopping centres.”
