Parking meters and fees
Parking meters are used to regulate parking in areas where street parking is in high demand, like in the Brisbane CBD. Parking spaces with time limits allow access to an area for as many people as possible.

Those staying longer than 15 minutes will need to pay via the CellOPark Australia app or the meter for the full length of their stay.
