Visitor parking permits
Residents can apply for a visitor permit so that guests, company cars or vehicles on loan can park in permit zones and green timed zones in front of residential properties. It can only be used to visit the residential property that it is linked to.
Applying for a visitor permit
Not all residents are eligible for a visitor parking permit. Find out if you can get a permit, which type, and how to apply
If you need a visitor permit urgently, come to a customer service counter with your ID we accept for a parking permit application. We will assess your application and issue the visitor permit on the spot.
Using a visitor parking permit
Display the permit clearly on the passenger side of the front windscreen of the visiting vehicle.
With a visitor permit you can park:
- in designated permit zones (in the street or area listed on the permit)
- without time limits in time-restricted areas (of 30+ minutes).
The permit cannot be used in clearways, no stopping, loading zones, and any other red sign restrictions.
Permits are only valid when used to visit an eligible residential property and are not valid when used for commercial purposes.
Please note: Visitor parking permits cannot be used to park a truck, trailer, motorcycle, bus, coach, towable caravan, vehicle over 7.5m in length or vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) greater than 4.5 tonnes. Permits are considered invalid if displayed on any of these vehicles.
