Site Allocation Register and Occupancy Reconciliation
Site Allocation & Reconciliation
Overview
- What This Option Does
-
Keep a live record of who is entitled to which stall, bay, table, route slot, or operating point, and compare it regularly to who is actually occupying or using it. In many markets, terminals, and parking areas, leakage begins when the physical space is known but the operator record drifts, informal subletting becomes normal, or vacant and occupied positions are not updated. A regular reconciliation closes that visibility gap.
- Most Useful When
-
-
The city manages markets, parking bays, transport stages, or other assigned operating spaces.
-
Informal subletting, sharing, or abandoned allocations are common.
-
The chargeable place is visible, but the identity of the real payer is not always clear.
-
- Legal requirements
-
The municipality should have authority to record allocations, verify actual occupancy, and suspend or reassign spaces under clear local rules where they are inactive or used without authorization.
- Administrative requirements
-
Maintain a simple site map and allocation sheet, assign responsibility for updates, and run periodic walk-through checks. Every change of holder, vacancy, suspension, or reallocation should be logged with date and reason.
- Usually Not Best First Move
-
-
The revenue stream is fully open-access and does not depend on identifiable spaces or slots.
-
The municipality has no influence over who uses the site.
-
- Political Note
-
This is often sensitive where unofficial subletting has become tolerated, so start with clear communication and consistent documentation.

- Practical implementation path
-
-
Create one authoritative site-allocation register for markets, bays, transport stands, or other operating points and record who is officially assigned to each place.
-
Compare the allocation register with actual occupancy on the ground and document cases of subletting, sharing, abandonment, or informal take-over.
-
Correct the highest-value or most contested sites first so the city can stabilise the most important charging points.
-
Repeat the reconciliation on a routine basis so allocation decisions, occupancy, and billing stop drifting apart.
-
- Legal and institutional requirements
-
The municipality should have authority to record allocations, verify actual occupancy, and suspend or reassign spaces under clear local rules where they are inactive or used without authorization.
- Administrative Setup
-
Maintain a simple site map and allocation sheet, assign responsibility for updates, and run periodic walk-through checks. Every change of holder, vacancy, suspension, or reallocation should be logged with date and reason.
- When this is a strong fit
-
-
The city manages markets, parking bays, transport stages, or other assigned operating spaces.
-
Informal subletting, sharing, or abandoned allocations are common.
-
The chargeable place is visible, but the identity of the real payer is not always clear.
-
- When this is less suitable
-
-
The revenue stream is fully open-access and does not depend on identifiable spaces or slots.
-
The municipality has no influence over who uses the site.
-
- Risks And Design Notes
-
-
Coverage reforms can trigger disputes over territory, site allocation, and who is authorised to operate. Keep the operating-point register visible enough to reduce conflict.
-
Seasonal and mobile operators need clear rules so the city does not double-charge or push activity further off-book.
-
This is often sensitive where unofficial subletting has become tolerated, so start with clear communication and consistent documentation.

Liability-application full cards
-
These cards are about making sure the city applies the approved class, tariff, band, exemption, or usage basis more consistently.
