The resident Parking Scheme allows residents who have inadequate off-street parking to apply for permits to park in their street or neighboring street without time restrictions.

The Visitor Parking Scheme is intended to assist residential visitors to park in close proximity to your residence without time restriction. Only residents of single dwellings can apply for a Visitor Permit and only one Visitor Permit will be issued to an individual residence per year (multi-unit dwellings do not qualify for a visitor permit).

Not all residents are eligible for permits. To be eligible for a parking permit under the scheme you must be a current resident of the property at which you have one or more vehicles registered, with inadequate onsite parking. Proof of residence and vehicle registration are required when applying for a parking permit. Please refer to the application form.

Our permits are now digital, and you can apply through the vPermit portal. Simply click on this link to set up your account.
