Discounts

RATEPAYERS have the chance to snap-up discounted parking tickets for Emerald Lake Park.
Every household in Cardinia Shire will soon receive the special offer with their rate notices – a voucher entitling them to $10 annual parking pass at the park.
The pass represents a saving of more than 70 per cent off the regular annual parking fee of $40.
Ed Chatwin, chairman of the Emerald Lake Park Advisory Committee and Ranges Ward councillor, said he was pleased the council could again offer discounted parking at the lake.
“Emerald Lake Park is a wonderland of activities for families with paddleboats, a seasonal children’s wading pool, model railway, great walks, the cafe and tearooms and free picnic.
“The vouchers (also) mean the car can be parked at the lake while the family arrive on Puffing Billy for a picnic.”
All ratepayers will receive a voucher to apply for a parking pass valid to 31 August 2010.
Payments can be made at Cardinia Shire Council Offices EFTPOS, cheque or cash accepted, or at Emerald Lake Park café (cash only) or at the Model Railway (cash only).
Applicants are required to relinquish the voucher and provide some form of identification, such as their driver’s licence or rates notice, when they purchase their pass.
