I’ve been a great supporter of the Rialto for many years, sometimes seeing three movies a week.  However, I’ve decided enough is enough with the paid parking. Recently, after an unusually long movie, I paid in total $26 just to enjoy the comfort of this wonderful cinema and a movie.  Even with the senior price and using the public carpark

I’ll be driving a little further to Pāpāmoa and enjoy a movie plus free parking.

It’s sad for the Rialto.Most movies are close to two hours and rushing back to your car isn’t an option for some. Hopefully council will revisit their decision to charge for all parking in the CBD.
