Resident Parking Scheme
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 restriction. Expired permits will not be valid, to continue parking in the street without restriction permits must be renewed prior to the expiry date (refer to permit for expiry). Non-permit holders must comply with the 2P or 4P time restrictions in these areas.
What are the parking permit scheme areas? Council currently has five resident parking schemes as follows:
RPS1 involves streets bounded by Homebush Road, Redmyre Road, Raw Square. Albert Road and Beresford Road. The scheme was implemented in November 2012.
RPS10 involves streets bounded by Homebush Road, Albyn Road, The Boulevarde and Redmyre Road. The scheme was implemented in June 2013.

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.
To apply for a permit/s, please complete the Parking Permit Application Form and submit it to customer service, along with proof of residence and relevant documentation as per the application form.
Applications may also be submitted online by emailing council@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
