"This new service has some great benefits for the environment. One GoGet car replaces up to ten privately owned vehicles on the road, reducing congestion, emissions and parking problems," said the Mayor, Cr Mora Main.

Waverley Council has provided two locations, called 'pods', at Bondi Beach and at Bondi Junction where the cars will be parked. GoGet, Australia's oldest and largest car share service, already successfully operates across inner-city Sydney and Melbourne. Waverley is the first Council in NSW to provide dedicated parking spaces so that members will be able to pick cars up from the same spot every time.

"Bondi Beach is an icon of that relaxed Australian lifestyle, and let's face it, owning and driving a car in Sydney at the moment is anything but relaxed. Now Eastern Suburbs residents can do away with the hassles and costs of owning and parking a car on crowded streets, insteading grabbing a new GoGet car whenever they need one," says GoGet Founder Bruce Jeffreys.
