Arriving for Appointments and Visits in Newtown
Drivers should approach from Rintoul Street because the hospital’s contact information identifies that street as the current access point for on-site parking (wakefield.co.nz).

Street Parking Around Florence Street and Rintoul Street
Parking on Rintoul Street changed from Sunday 20 October, and Newtown Medical Centre advises visitors to allow extra time to find a park before an appointment (newtownmc.co.nz). That change is particularly relevant around the hospital because Rintoul Street is the identified access route for current on-site parking.
Drivers using residential streets around the hospital should follow the posted signs and markings for each space, rather than assuming that a nearby kerbside space is available for the full appointment. The local medical centre’s advice to allow extra time is useful when on-site parking is limited by building works (newtownmc.co.nz).
