The new Logan Hospital multi-level car park opened this morning, with visitors now required to pay a fee to park anywhere at the hospital.
Patients, visitors and staff at Logan Hospital now have access to more than 2,000 parking spaces at the hospital, including 1,500 undercover parking spaces in the new car park, with an elevated linkway providing safe and secure access to the main hospital buildings.
While initially scheduled to open last year, the opening of the facility was pushed back, due to the car park reportedly sinking.
The project required additional structural work, at no cost to Metro South Health.
The car park is owned and operated by Logan Hospital, which means the parking fees are only used for capital loan repayments, operations and maintenance.
It will be free to park for 15 minutes, but from then it will cost $3 to park for 15 to 60 minutes, $5 for one to two hours, $7 for two to three hours, $9 for three to four hours, $11 for four to six hours, with a capped daily rate of $13.
Staff who choose to park at the hospital, will be required to pay a set parking fee.
It will always be free to drop off and pick up patients from the hospital by using one of the designated drop-off zones.
A ticket will be issued on entry and there will be multiple pay stations.
