Wilson Parking will sell three of its large Wellington parking buildings and pay $500,000 to the Commerce Commission following allegations of anti-competitive behaviour.

Wilson Parking and the Commerce Commission have agreed to resolve the High Court proceedings which were filed in 2018 following customer complaints that Wilson had hiked prices at one of its central Wellington car parks.

Wilson acquired the Capital car park on Boulcott Street in June 2016 without clearance from the Commerce Commission.

The Commerce Commission began receiving customer complaints in February 2017 about price increases at the carpark, prompting it to be investigated.

The Commission alleged this lessened competition for the supply of car parking in the Boulcott Street area.
