MERIDIAN MALL
90 minutes free parking is available to Les Mills Dunedin members at Meridian Mall via 2 methods:
- The ParkMate app and License Plate Recognition (LPR)
- Validating your parking in the gym reception area
Step 1:
Download ParkMate from the App store/Google Play. Make sure you sign up with the same email address that you use to sign into your Les Mills account.
Step 2:
Go to the menu and add your payment details (‘My wallet’) and licence plate (‘My vehicles’).
Step 3:
Still in ‘My vehicles’, turn on the toggle for ‘Licence Plate Recognition’.
Note: ‘Licence Plate Recognition’ is not available if you share the same vehicle licence plate with another ParkMate user.
Set up the app as above, then:

Step 3:
Drive out of the car park and the camera will stop your session automatically once the barrier arm is lifted.

FAQS
The app is ParkMate, which you might know from other car parks around Dunedin, run by Wilson Parking. Like the current app, it will operate on smartphones with no tickets required.
You can find some information about it here.
The new system will be in place as soon as Les Mills Dunedin opens in Meridian Mall on Tuesday 31 October.
Please see steps above or watch the how-to video here.
To access the gym outside of Meridian Mall hours please enter via Hanover Street entrance or via the carpark lift if you've parked your car.
If you don’t have a smartphone, then you can validate your parking session at Reception where our team will help you. *Please note that if you’re after additional parking, you can only do that through the Meridian Mall pay machines. Extra time cannot be added at reception.
Yes. This is required to allow the sessions to stop and start, even for free sessions.
The ParkMate app uses a third-party gateway environment for payment, with security controls that are PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, the industry’s highest level of certification. The security controls are reviewed annually via an intensive assessment that ensures the compliance levels are maintained.
As a Les Mills member, you’ll get 90 minutes of free parking when you validate your session by scanning into the club. Any additional parking will be charged as per Meridian Mall’s parking rates which can be located here, on entry to the carpark or, by any of the pay machines throughout the Mall.
Please see the how-to video here. *Please make sure that the e-mail address in your ParkMate app is the same email we have for you here at Les Mills, so we can validate your free time.
Easy, License Plate Recognition means you just drive out of the Meridian Mall Car Park and your parking session will automatically stop. Look out for the stop notification and receipt email.
Yes, you’ll get a notification 15 minutes before your free session is coming to an end – please make sure that you have notifications from ParkMate switched on. We also recommend checking the ParkMate app is enabled in your mobile device notifications settings.
If 90 minutes isn’t enough, additional parking will be charged at $5 per hour or part thereof. If you are using the ParkMate app, there will be a $0.50 transaction fee with any paid session (you will not be charged this fee if you stay under 90 minutes for your session).
No, you can’t pre-book a car park.
This $0.50 fee applies only to paid parking sessions. If you end your session within the free 90-minute timeframe, no transaction fee will be charged.
That’s no problem. You can add multiple vehicles to ParkMate by clicking on the menu icon in the app, clicking on 'My vehicles’, and selecting ‘Add license plate’.
At this stage, License Plate Recognition can only be allocated to one ParkMate account, which means two people can’t 'share’ a licence plate across ParkMate accounts. You will not be able to validate your parking using ParkMate. You will need to validate your parking in our reception area.
Then you will need to validate your parking in our reception area.
