Council provides residential parking permits for residents who live in streets with parking restrictions.
If your permit becomes too faded for view, a replacement will be issued upon return of the original permit to Council.
Please read if you are eligible (below). Read also conditions of use(PDF, 791KB) before applying for a residential parking permit.
An additional permit may require payment. A tax invoice will be issued once the additional permit has been assessed and approved. The permit will then be sent out only after payment has been made and receipted.
Existing permit holders who would like to apply for a carer or additional carer’s permit, please select 'New permit' at the online option.
