We live just down the road from there at Wavell Heights. I take my daughter to the pool at Chermside and go shopping there when I really have to. It has a very busy road (Gympie) running through. Dont know what the area is like to live but seems ok if you get away from the commercial areas.

All suburbs seem to merge around it.

I'd hate to see your parking fees then when they come into effect next year.

They are going to charge to use Chermside???? If so I wont go there. Will head to toombul instead.

Just what he says. They are introducing parking fees at Chermside to stop the commuters using the spaces in the shopping centre.

Well that is crazy why would anyone use the place then???? There are plenty more shopping centres close by ok not on the same scale but I for one will not use it if I have to pay or will walk over from the swimming pool blocking a park there. I only go to do banking for my kids accounts and the odd thing I need from Kmart/Big W

I bet it will stop people going there.

I think they're doing the first 3 (might be 2) hours free, then they're going to charge. I don't think it will help Chermside one bit personally, but if it means we can actually find a parking space on the odd occasion we go there, happy with I swear I've spent an hour looking for a space in the past!

chaval

that isnt exactly what was said....."I'd hate to see your parking fees then when they come into effect next year".......now that could be some sort of chermside urbanisation parking fee....where unless you have residents permit you have to pay to park anywhere...not just in a shopping centre....

so "just what was said" requried a bit of interpretation.

cheers

Well I apologise for trying to clarify what was said. As far as I could tell a comment was made about spending days in the shopping centre. The response to that comment was that he would hate to see the parking fees. You asked for that comment to be explained, I explained it. Whats the problem?

If you prefer a longer explanation have a read here -
