Parking rules and tips

  • We want to ensure the safety of all drivers and pedestrians within the City. Here are some of the most common parking problems encountered:
  • Parking on a footpath: It’s an offence to park any part of your vehicle on or over a footpath, including where a footpath intersects or crosses a driveway.
  • Vehicles parked against the flow of traffic/Facing the wrong direction:
  • When parking a vehicle on the side of the road, it must be parked facing the direction the traffic is moving.
  • Parking in bays set aside for people with disabilities (ACROD bays):
  • These bays are easily identified with signage and bay markings
  • Parking in these bays without the required permit carries a penalty of up to $5000
  • Disability parking permit holders are allowed to park in a street or kerbside time-restricted area for double the signposted time, provided a valid parking session is active, where paid parking applies.
