A key project that arose from the Long Term Plan 2024-34 was the Paru Paru Road carpark.

This carpark will provide parking for the new play space, further parking capacity for recreational and other events at Rutherford Park or Trafalgar Centre, and parking close to the city centre to mitigate loss of carparking as part of the Bridge to Better project and the Nelson Bus Hub redevelopment.
