Parking permits for residents
Parking permits have changed – from street to area-based. We are also changing the number of permits that you can have.
Waiting for your residential parking permit? If you applied online and were approved for a permit, you will be covered for 60 days after the day you applied. You can start 'using' the permit while you wait for the sticker to arrive in the mail. This doesn't apply to a visitor permit.
Renew your permit
Each year when you renew your parking permit you need to prove your residential address and that you own the vehicle using the permit.
You can renew online or in-person at a customer service counter.
Apply for a parking permit
If you know your property is eligible, the permit type you need, and have your ID and rego papers ready you can:
- apply online for a resident permit
- come to a customer service counter with your parking permit ID.

Not all properties are eligible for parking permits. Find out if your address is eligible for a parking permit, and how many you can apply for
Choose the right type of permit for your needs
If you are eligible you can apply for a:
- resident permit – to park your car in your home area unrestricted
- foreshore permit – for free parking (with time limits) near the water
- combined residential and foreshore permit – one sticker for parking near home and along the foreshore
- visitor permit – for visitor cars, company cars, cars on loan
- temporary permit – short-term parking for removalists, deliveries etc.
Understand what ID you need to apply for a permit
When you apply you need to prove that you live at the address, that you own your car, or that you drive a car owned by your company.
