New Projects – Toowoomba Regional Council
We’re excited to announce that our white-label parking solution, in collaboration with Duncan Solutions, has now gone live in Toowoomba.
The Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) came to us with a specific need to easily find available parking bays, offer contact-less payment and the option to extend parking time withing existing time limits. Taking this brief onboard, we implemented a white-label smartphone app solution that allows Toowoomba motorists to enjoy a seamless parking experience. The Toowoomba Parking app is now available on Google Play and The App Store.
Importantly, the solution met a key client need to improve customer experience to make finding and paying for parking more convenient and efficient. The strategy empowers Council to find the right balance to support motorists wanting to park in the CBD and providing more opportunities for customers to visit businesses.

New Projects – 21 Harris St, Pyrmont NSW
In collaboration with Sensor Dynamics, we have also recently launched a new location: 21 Harris St, Pyrmont, NSW.
The brief of this project was to provide an integrated parking solution where parking will become part of a larger smart property ecosystem.
Integrating directly into the CBRE Host application, the UbiPark solution will allow tenants and staff to register and complete their parking from the ‘Smart Property’ app. Tenants will benefit from the Agile Parking implementation, and staff will be able to share parking spaces automatically from the UbiPark platform. This will help the tenants get their staff into the office safely and efficiently.

2022 has already proven to be a promising year for the UbiPark team. Across June and July, we focused on sustainability and how UbiPark can continue making a positive change for the planet. We have already seen phenomenal statistics around how our integrated parking platform can reduce driving and help bring down carbon emissions, one driver at a time.
Moving into July, with the start of the financial year, things only got busier and busier. With plenty of change and exciting events in the line-up for UbiPark, we thought we’d take the time to update you on everything that has been happening and all that is yet to come.
