🚗 Good news! Parking at the Specialist Medical Centre just got easier — and greener! 🌿🎉

The new boom gates are now live, giving patients and visitors faster, easier access to parking without any paper tickets.

✨ First 3 hours FREE
💳 Simple tap in/tap out with any debit or credit card
🌿 Ticket-free = less waste and more environmentally friendly

If you prefer not to tap on/off, parking remains available next door at the Hospital Car Park.

We hope this makes your next visit even smoother. Please share this post to spread the good word for our incredible Coffs Coast Community.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season! 🎄✨
