   After hearing this news tonight, I am not agreeing with westfields decision just putting it into perspective, as a registered nurse at John Hunter Hospital we pay approx $25 per fortnight for parking almost a kilometer away from our ward, in the open with no protection to our vehicles….if working a morning shift. A parking pass used to take months to obtain meaning we parked in the front carpark with a cost of $10 per day. Any casual staff or students also have to pay this $10 per day…. so $2 per day doesnt seem like much for undercover protected parking…

   I work for Hunter New England Health and have to pay to parking. Most people who work in Newcastle have to pay as well. It is part and parcel of working if you drive to work.

   its not undercovered and protected at all. and its $2.50 a day yea it doesnt sound like much but is over 600$ a year and its hard enough on a retail wage.

   While Westfield is only doing this for greed, for daytime workers and early in to the evening, their is an alternative. It’s called catching a bus. At Westfield, their are seven bus routes that stop right outside the centre, and then their is (while a bit of a walk) Adamstown or Kotara Railway stations.
