Using a tradesperson permit

Display the permit on the lower passenger side of the front windscreen.

Permits are valid in the area listed on the permit.

With the permit you can park:

  • outside a residential property (only)
  • in a permit zone
  • for free
  • for longer than timed restrictions (if 30 minutes or longer).

Permits do not exempt you from clearways and no stopping areas.

You can’t use the permit to park outside a shop, office, industrial or community land, or in an off-street car park.

Don’t copy, reproduce or tamper with your permit. Make sure you display it correctly. If the parking enforcement officer can’t see it, you may get a parking infringement notice.

For residential jobs only

A residential property is one that is used 100 per cent for residential purposes. Properties that have a mixed use, such as apartments on upper floors above a business, are not considered residential.

If we think a parking permit is being misused, we may ask Victoria Police to investigate it as a criminal offence.
