Further expansion in Cairns, Queensland
Cairns Base Hospital, currently under redevelopment and including the construction of a new Multi-storey Car Park, will be equipped with a PM ABACUS Car Park Management and Control System later this year.

Through a competitive Tender process, SABAR has been successful with this 2 IN, 2 OUT, 2 PAY STATION System for the main Car Park and an internally nested Car Parks comprising 1 IN and 1 OUT.

The addition of Cairns Base Hospital strengthens our position in Cairns adding to our existing Systems at Cairns Airport and Cairns Central Shopping Centre.

The functionality of the PM ABACUS System, particularly for Hospital environments, and the proven reliability as demonstrated in the harsh Cairns environment at Cairns Central Shopping Centre, were primary decision factors for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation, the Operator of the Car Park.

Hilton Hotel, Gold Coast, Queensland
Our Gold Coast portfolio continues to expand with the addition of the Hilton Hotel.

This 2 IN, 2 OUT, 2 PAY STATION System for the main Car Park and an internally nested Car Park comprising 1 IN and 1 OUT will also feature the functionality of the PM ABACUS TCU120 off-line Discount Units.

Gold Coast Airport, Queensland
Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta continues to grow in parking demand, requiring the construction of a new at-grade Car Park. The Airport has chosen to remain a SABAR Customer and will equip the Car Park with a PM ABACUS central magnetic stripe System, including the installation of cashless, credit card only Pay Stations.

With this purchase the Airport will install the base for the future upgrading of the existing DESIGNA Parkmaster 100 System which, through DESIGNA’s commitment to compatibility across equipment generations, can be upgraded and connected to the new PM ABACUS System.

More Projects in the pipeline
