The Hobart City Council has recently constructed a new secure bicycle parking facility within the Argyle Street Car Park to complement bicycle parking facilities in the CBD.

This new secure bicycle parking facility is intended primarily for CBD workers and other regular commuters with a CBD destination who do not currently have all day parking facilities at their Hobart CBD destination. The facility is modelled on similar bicycle parking cages operating in Hobart and in other Australian States.

The facility will be accessed with an electronic swipe card and be under CCTV surveillance. The facility will be accessible during the normal operating hours of the Argyle Street Car Park. Lockers will be provided within the facility and public toilets are located almost immediately adjacent to the facility access.

This secure bicycle facility will be a membership based, fee for service facility.

The fee for a 1 year (52 week) membership of the facility will be $50. A refundable deposit ($50) for the electronic swipe card will also be required. Facility Membership enquires should be directed to HCC Customer Services Centre on 6238 2781 or 6238 2780.
