Permit Parking
9.3 Electronic permits
Parking authorities (Councils or declared organisations) may issue
parking permits in electronic format under clause 95 of the RTGR.
Residents and businesses can register and obtain electronic parking
permits by submitting the permit application form with the relevant
documents and any necessary fees to the parking authority, either online
or in person, as dictated by the parking authority. Applicants are to
be notified of acceptance (or otherwise) of their electronic parking permit
application and the permit’s commencement and completion date.
For electronic permits the parking authority must record the:
• class of permit, i.e. resident, commuter, business, residents’ visitor,
declared organisation or special event.
• area identifier(s). See Section 10.2, ‘Adjoining parking authorities’.
• expiry date or the months, dates and days of the week to which a
short-term permit applies.
• permit number (unique alpha numeric code).
• street address of the resident in the case of a residents’ visitor
permit.
• vehicle registration number.
Whilst there is no legislative requirement to identify vehicles with
electronic parking permits, it is recommended that motorists should be
required to display some form of identification in their vehicle to avert
possible discontent from non-permit holders issued with an infringement
notice and also to assist enforcement by council officers.
Note: All proposals to introduce electronic parking permits must initially
be approved by RMS.
9.4 Use of permits
Instructions and conditions of use must be made available to the permit
holder. This could be by inclusion on the rear of the printed permit or by
some other suitable means. The following must be included:
