The Department of Conservation is launching a seven-month paid parking trial at White Horse Hill in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park starting December 2025, with fees of $5 per hour or $25 per day, plus annual passes for locals ($10) and regular visitors ($60).
Free 20-minute parking remains for drop-offs.
The program also extends to Dolomite Point in Punakaiki and Franz Josef, using payment machines and cameras, with breach notices for non-payment.
