Parking Permit FAQs
Misuse of parking permits
Misuse of permits means fewer parking spaces for legitimate permit holders. We want to ensure the parking allocated to them is available.
We've made changes to the Local Law, introduced 1 August 2023 in relation to the unauthorised use of Parking Permits.
This amendment makes it an offence to sell or purchase, hire, lease, licence or receive a residential parking permit that has been allocated to another person.
If you think a parking permit is being misused, please report it to us.
Short stay accommodation parking
Short stay accommodation and rentals are usually rented via online providers like AirBNB, Stayz and Booking.com. Property owners can't get or keep residential parking permits (including Visitor permits) if they do not live at the property. Parking permits cannot be used for any commercial purposes.
If you have concerns about parking related to a short stay rental property, let us know. We can investigate. Go online to make your request anytime. You can call us on 03 9209 6777 if you prefer.
