Wilson Parking New Zealand has applied to the Commerce Commission for clearance to buy the leases of 10 car parking sites operated by competitor Tournament Parking.



The parking sites are in Auckland and Wellington, the commission said in a statement.



Wilson Parking is New Zealand's largest public parking company about 270 parking facilities nationwide.

It is part of the wider Wilson Group, which operates throughout Australia and Asia.



Tournament operates 13 car parks in Auckland and Wellington.

Wilson bought most of Tournaments operations in 2013. At the time the commission determined that the deal would not substantially lessen competition in the parking market.
