Tradesperson parking permit
Fees
2024/25 fee: $62 (per week)
Organise this type of permit so that a tradesperson can park near the residential property they are currently working on.
Permits can be used by one vehicle only and for a limited time (1 to 4 weeks), with a maximum of 2 permits at any time. Permits cannot be transferred or changed once issued as these are paper permits emailed to you once they have been assessed and approved.
To ensure your permit is received in time, please apply at least 2 business days before you need the permit to start.

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.
