That the current tariff and concessions to that tariff are changed to unlimited free parking for all customers of Forge Island businesses.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Maintain the existing pricing structure. This was rejected as it may result in the existing tariff as a deterrent to potential customers of the businesses on the site and creating confusion due to the mix of concessions.
