Panther counts coins

PANTHER Security has been awarded the contract to collect, count and bank coinage from council’s parking meters.

The firm beat Chubb Protective Services and the Brinks Australia and Secure Parking joint venture to the job.

Panther’s pre-GST cost for the work is $163,620 – about the same as current provider Brambles Armoured’s pre-GST lump sum tender of $162,240 per annum.
