Paid parking on Sundays was introduced to parts of Dunedin’s CBD in early November.
A council spokesman said in the six months to April 26, Sunday parking revenue was $121,000.
The council had budgeted for revenue of $150,000 per annum.
Councillors agreed to introduce the charges in the central city area as part of the nine-year plan process last year.
The spokesman said the change was having a positive impact on vehicle turnover in the centre city.
‘‘Since the introduction of Sunday charges, there has been a significant decrease in the number of requests we have received relating to illegal parking on George St specifically, which is pleasing, and there has been no noticeable change in public interactions with our parking officers.’’
Since November, 421 infringements notices had been issued on Sundays, totalling $34,957 — $9240 of this was from people parking without payment, a $70 fine.
The rest was made up of infringements for parking in a mobility park without a permit ($750), infringements for no warrant of fitness or registration ($200), and overstaying time limits or paid parking.
The fine for overstaying ranges from $20-$97.
The council have previously said no additional staff hours were required to cover Sunday enforcement.
When asked about staffing, the spokesman said: ‘‘We have one parking officer now working on Sundays, and they also cover priority requests for service’’.
He did not answer follow-up questions on staffing, including if staff hours had increased or the cost of any additional enforcement.
