Table 1 below outlines the residential permit eligibility for residents in streets with Resident Permit Zones and/or Time-Limited Parking Areas. The eligibility criteria in Table 1 must be read in conjunction with all other applicable criteria and limitations outlined in the On-Street Parking Policy

 Table 1. Residential permit eligibility:

#Residents eligible for one or two Residential Permits may also be eligible for an additional (transferable) Residential Permit, where extenuating circumstances apply. 

Visitor Permits are intended for occasional use where additional time may be needed for visitations, for example friends, family or tradespeople. The holder of a visitor permit is not guaranteed a parking space in the street for which the permit is issued.

Visitor Permits are not intended to be used for longer term parking needs or to supplement a shortage of on-site parking.

Visitor Permits are only available in precincts where the following conditions apply:

1. there is limited available on-street parking
2. there are time limited parking controls applied to the street
3. there is demonstrated competing demands between parking users due to other land uses in the precinct.

Visitor permits allow parking up to a maximum of six hours.

A maximum of two Visitor Permits will be available per residential property.

Visitor Permits can only be used in time restricted parking areas or Resident Permit Zones, cannot be used in parking zones of less than one- hour duration and cannot be used in Loading Zones, No Parking Zone, Bus Zones or Taxi Zones etc.

All Permits must be displayed in the bottom passenger-side corner of the motor vehicle windscreen at all times when the vehicle is parked in the Resident Only Parking Zone or relevant time restricted parking area. Failure to display the permit will leave the vehicle owner liable for an expiation and or prosecution for illegal parking.

Temporary Parking Permits may be issued by Council in certain circumstances, including for significant events or activities, and for tradespeople working on major residential construction projects. See below for eligibility. 

Events and significant activities

The Council, at its absolute discretion, may provide Temporary Parking permits to occupiers of residential and commercial premises located in parts of the City in which temporary parking controls are implemented from time to time to address accessibility issues for on-street parking arising from the staging of an event or the undertaking of a significant activity.

The aim of the temporary parking controls and permits of this kind, is to enable local residents and businesses to conduct their day-to-day business and activities and maintain reasonable access to on-street parking during the course of a significant event or activity.

The Temporary Parking Permit is transferable between vehicles and will only be issued in relation to significant or major events or activities, as determined by the Manager, Development & Regulatory Services, at his or her absolute discretion.

A Temporary Parking Permit related to significant or major events or activities will only be valid on the days where temporary parking controls are in places in the affected streets.

Parking for tradespeople

The Council may, at its absolute discretion, provide a maximum of one Temporary Parking Permit per residential property to occupiers or owners of residential properties to allow a tradesperson to park in a time restricted parking area or Resident Permit Zone, whilst the property is being renovated or new residential development is being constructed. Such permits will generally only be issued where a major renovation or construction of residential development valued over $50,000 is being undertaken and will not be issued in relation to maintenance works of any kind.

The permits will only be valid for tradespeople vehicles that are no larger than a sedan, van, ute or SUV and where the total length of the vehicle including any overhanding materials or trailers or the like do not take up more than two on-street parking spaces at any one time.

Temporary Parking Permits issued in relation to tradespeople vehicles will be subject to a daily fee, must be displayed on the Tradesperson’s vehicle and may be issued for a minimum of one day up to a maximum of forty-two days.
