Residential and visitor parking permits
If you live in a street with parking restrictions - such as, two hour parking - you can apply for a residential and visitor parking permit.
With a permit you can park anywhere within the designated parking areas in your street, except for areas such as No Stopping and Loading Zones.
The permit is renewable every year and is valid from 1 July to 30 June.
A permit does not guarantee you a parking spot in the street.
Displaying your permit
- Stick your residential parking permit on the lower left side of your windscreen
- Hang your visitor parking permit on your rear vision mirror
- A visitor permit is only valid for persons visiting and always remains the responsibility of the residential parking permit holder, who resides at the local address
- Place your temporary parking permit on the lower left side of your windscreen
- You cannot transfer a permit to another person, vehicle or street
