Digital Parking Meters have been installed in Ba Town, following the launch of similar meters by the Savusavu and Labasa Town Councils in August and September, respectively.

Maciu Nalumisa, the Local Government Minister, explained that the Ba Town Council, in collaboration with other Municipal Councils, procured 18 new Electronic Parking Meters under the guidance and advice of the Ministry.

These meters replace the lollipop meters, and they are expected to help the Council earn over $60,000 annually.
