From Porirua City Council:

Licence plate technology hits Porirua streets

Porirua City Council is introducing licence plate recognition technology from 4 May 2026 to help Council manage parking in a more efficient, consistent, and customer-friendly way around the city.

We know that unsafe parking is an issue around our schools, creating a real danger for tamariki by limiting visibility and making them hard to see. The cameras will be attached to one of the Council’s cars to monitor parking around the city’s schools, checking if cars are parking on broken yellow lines, across driveways, or on berms and footpaths.

As the vehicle drives through an area, it can register whether parking requirements, such as payment or time limits, have been met. The technology will record the plate number of vehicles, the time and location and any visible parking signage. The information is then sent back to Council and will be reviewed by a warranted parking officer before an infringement is issued.

Council’s Manager of Policy, Planning & Regulatory Services, Nic Etheridge, confirms that the camera operates within the requirements of the Privacy Act and people’s faces will be blurred in any images. Council will use images only for evidence gathering and enforcement – LPR information will be stored on the same system as our current infringement information.

In Porirua, this technology will support parking officers in their day-to-day work and keep them safe as it allows our them to stay in the vehicle. Down the track, LPR may be used for checking warrants of fitness and registrations and whether a car is stolen, along with data collection of parking and road use around Porirua, informing future decisions and city development by our transport team.

Unfortunately our school garden hose has disappeared over the long weekend.

Have you seen it by chance?  It is a 100m green garden hose, not on a reel.

If you have seen it, borrowed it or know who has, please let us know or pop it back to our garden..

We would love to have it returned, no questions asked.

Thank so much
