How permits work

There are 74 parking areas in Banyule, and your permit entitles you to park in the time-restricted parking zones (1 hour or greater), in front of residential properties, in your parking permit area. Permits do not entitle you to park in zone such as paid parking, no stopping, no parking or clearways.

Residential permits are electronic and linked with your vehicle registration.

Visitor permits are a laminated holographic permit and must be displayed on the car dashboard.

Using your permit

You can use your permit to park in front of a residential property only and in parking area nominated on the permit for longer than the time limitations on the signs in the permit area.

Permits are not valid in commercial areas or at parking meters or in ticket machine areas.

The issue of a permit does not guarantee the availability of a parking space to the permit holder, nor does the permit allow the holder to contravene road rules. No exceptions will be made to any permit holder who parks in commercial, industrial areas.
