Boat Trailer Permits
Council has identified in its Ten Year Plan that it is introducing fee charges to all boat trailer parkers at Council boat ramps. This follows the current permit parking scheme operating in Whangamata.
The revenue received from the sale of permits is to be put back into the harbour activity. Council has determined that boat ramp users benefit more from this activity than all ratepayers do.

Types of Permit
Permits are required for the parking of boat trailers following the launching of boats at designated ramps on the Coromandel Peninsula. A number of roads and other formed or unformed off road parking places in close proximity to boat launching areas have been identified as areas where the parking of boat trailers is only allowed if a permit is visibly displayed.
Roads and off road parking places close to boat ramps where controls are in place have signage to the effect that parking is permitted for vehicles with a boat trailer attached displaying a current parking permit. Designated boat ramps and permit controlled areas.
The following is the location of boat ramps where a vehicle with a boat trailer must display a permit if it is parked in a controlled off road parking area or between relevant signs on the road or other public place.
