Transport
Parking for The Gathering
Parking at the Arise Centre for The Gathering is likely to be extremely limited. This is because the Arise Centre carpark is shared with Metlink commuters. Due to school holidays, the number of Metlink commuters will be reduced, but it is difficult to predict how many parking spots will be available.
We will be prioritising available spots for Mums with babies, those with disabilities, and shuttles for transporting intermediates to their sessions. We ask that if you are able, that you consider alternate means of transport.
Public transport
Petone Train Station and Bus Hubs are both situated opposite the Arise Centre (approx. 4 min walk).
Cash is accepted on buses and trains, however, Metlink offers a range of concessions and discounted fares when using a Snapper card:
- Children under 5-years-old travel for free anytime on Metlink buses, trains, and ferries.
- School-aged children get a 50% discount on the adult fare on all Metlink services.
- Off-peak fares get a 50% discount when using Snapper, including concessions (Weekdays 9am to 3pm and after 6:30pm).
- Debit, credit, and eftpos cards are not accepted.
