Parking permit application
Application for Precinct Parking Permits
The Town has a precinct parking plan to make it easier and faster to find a parking space within your neighbourhood. Demand for on-street parking has gradually grown with the increased development of residential units and commercial office space, expansion of private schools, health and aged care facilities. The plan divides the Town into seven precincts with parking requirements tailored specifically to the needs within each zone.
Residents living on a street with timed parking are entitled to one free (complimentary) parking permit.
Additional permits - valid for 2 years- can be requested with a $100 fee, granted upon reasonable grounds. If your additional permit is approved, you will be required to call to make the payment. Once payment is received for the additional permit, please allow at least four working days for collection. Please note that if you wish to pay in person, you will be required to return to collect the permit to allow our team to process and create your permit.
If permits are lost or stolen, a replacement fee of $70 per permit will be charged.
Please allow a minimum of 7 business days for processing of your application.
All parking permit/s shall be valid for two (2) years from the date of issue.
*Important
Please note:
- That ratepayers/residents of multiple dwellings (more than 12 units) are not eligible for parking permits, as per the Town's Parking Policy, which can be found here. The Town suggests residents of these dwellings discuss parking management with their strata manager.
- Complimentary permits are valid for 24 months.
- Residents can apply for additional parking permits, subject to the approval of management and fees will apply.
- Parking permits allow residents and their visitors to park for up to 72 hours.
- Permits do not allow drivers to park contrary to other restrictions (i.e. against the flow of traffic) and signage (e.g. no stopping, clearway, cycle lanes, continuous yellow lines, loading zones, taxi bays, ACROD bays).
- Permits cannot be used for a vehicle that has a trailer or caravan attached.
- Permits cannot be used in the CBD or other parking stations.
Timed parking
Vehicles displaying the correct permit are exempt from the timed parking restrictions and can park within their precinct for 72 hours.
Timed parking will operate from:
Monday to Friday 8.30am - 5.30pm
Saturday 8.30am - 12pm
Sunday - No restrictions unless affected by mayor events
Verge parking
The owner/occupier of a property may park or give permission to another party to park a vehicle on the verge of that property. Precinct parking relates to on-street parking only. If a vehicle is parked on your verge without your permission, please call our Community Safety Team on 9285 4300.
Signage
Signage will be displayed to indicate a designated parking precinct area. Examples of these signs are demonstrated here. The driver is responsible to comply with signage at all times.
