墨尔本市中心停车费在2026年将上涨79%, 以对抗拥堵, Melbourne's inner-city parking fees will rise by 79% in 2026 to fight congestion, sparking debate on its effectiveness.

墨尔本市中心停车费将从2026年1月起增加79%, Melbourne's inner-city parking fees will increase by 79% starting January 2026 due to a higher congestion levy aimed at reducing traffic. 这项税于2006年开始实行,对停车场经营者征税,费用由用户承担。 The levy, introduced in 2006, taxes car park operators, and the cost is passed to users. 尽管政府的目标是遏制拥堵，到 2030 年，该州可能会花费 100 亿澳元，但澳大利亚房地产委员会认为，这项征税是无效的，可能会给企业和业主带来压力。 Despite the government's aim to curb congestion, which could cost the state $10 billion by 2030, the Property Council of Australia argues the levy is ineffective and could strain businesses and property owners.
