IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CAR PARKING IN
ST ANDREW'S CATHEDRAL

In response to feedback and to perceived needs, the Car Park Subcommittee, FPC is pleased to announce the following revised rates and policies which will benefit, amongst others, Cathedral volunteers as well as non-member attendees of SAC Christian Education classes and evening services.

There will be a further review at the end of 3 months. The policies and rates below are effective from Friday 18th Nov 2011. Until that date, there will be no charge for the use of the car-park. The revised rates will be reflected in the new signboards.

1. Members’ weekday rates (Mon-Sat) : Free parking for 3 hours followed by 2 cents per minute for the first 2 hours and subsequently 4 cents per minute. This is meant to benefit volunteers who have work to do in the Cathedral. Members are not to use the Cathedral grounds for casual parking on weekdays. This privilege is for a single-entry only. Subsequent entries by the same vehicle will not be entitled to this grace period.
2. Volunteers at the Welcome Centre will be provided with complimentary passes.
3. Non-member parking rates on all days remain unchanged at $7 per hour or part thereof. Bona fide visitors will be given complimentary passes.
4. After 7pm on all days (including Sundays), there will be a per-entry charge of $4 for non-members. Please note that a non-member who enters before 7pm will be subject to the hourly rates in addition to the per-entry charge.
5. The members’ rates on Sunday will remain unchanged - 2 cents per minute for the first 2 hours and subsequently 4 cents per minute.
6. Wedding/funeral groups will be accorded 20 complimentary passes with an option to purchase a further 20 passes at subsidized rates.
7. Rules on parking remain unchanged – parking is only permitted on designated lots.
8. Ministry leaders should anticipate the need for complimentary passes and request them from the GM, Kenneth Ng at least 4 days in advance.
8. The East Lawn will be opened for use from the 30th of November onwards. It will only be in use on Sundays and on specified Diocesan/Cathedral mass events.

The traffic flow within the East Lawn is as detailed below. Kindly observe this flow. Parking lots are designated by unobtrusive stone markers inset in the grass. No arrows will be painted on the grass. The idea is that, as far as possible, the East Lawn must look like a lawn and not like a carpark.A verger/warden will be on-hand in the early period to assist. An LED display will indicate the number of lots available in the East Lawn. Parking within the Cathedral grounds will be at the owner’s risk.



ERP Gantry System
Initial teething problems with the system have been addressed. A number of you may have registered as members but ended up paying nonmember rates on exit. This could either be due to your providing the wrong IU number or an error in inputting the numbers.

Should this happen to you, please printout a receipt and send a scanned copy together with your IU number, name to Email: carpark@livingstreams.org.sg so that the problem may be addressed.

Continuing registration
