Parking meters across Newcastle could be a thing of the past, with the launch of a new app from Newcastle City Council.
The Easypark app allows users to start a parking session, extend it if needed and end it immediately through their phone when they return to their car.
Users must register their vehicle's number plate with Council for the app to work.
This new parking technology is the first of its kind to be rolled out by a NSW Council.
The app also enables users to pay for their park and ride service, just in time for the end of the free introductory period, meaning users will now be paid a daily fee of $2.20.
