That's up to €225 a year for a parking permit and ~25-50c an hour for street parking.

Does it mention where the money will be used? News articles are kind of sparse in details and I couldn't find the draft bill (it might be a skill issue on my side tbh)
Earmarking money for specific use is almost always a bad idea because it's inherently fungible. Whatever it's marked to get used on simply becomes a lower priority for general use funds, which defeats the entire purpose but adds completely useless accounting frictions.
Idk if your question has an answer though and would also like to know (hopefully it's just not earmarked).
It might depend on how much it brings in to begin with?
