RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT CONDITIONS

Eligibility for Residential Parking Permit for overstay of time limited parking controlled areas or permit zones (Resident Only)

To be eligible to receive a permit:

1. Only one applicant per residence is permitted.

2. An applicant must be a permanent resident at an address located within the Town boundaries.

3. An applicant must submit evidence of residency at the time of application.

4. The property must be zoned residential, or where a residence is located in a non-residential zone an application may be considered.

5. A residential parking permit is not valid for a truck, trailer, caravan, boat or bus.

6. An applicant must reside in a property alongside which time-limit parking controls apply or permit zone for residential use only (noting that if there are no restrictions on parking within a prescribed area, then a residential parking permit will not be issued).

Eligibility for a Residential Parking Permit is based on compliance with the conditions set out in Council's Parking Policy.

1. Every permit must contain details of describing:

• The street to which the permit applies, and;
• Expiry date of the permit.

2. Permits will be issued in respect to a specific street.

3. Permits are not transferable from one residential parking permit zone to another.

4. Permits must be placed either on the front dashboard or hooked onto the rear vision mirror.

5. Every holder of a permit who changes his or her place of residence shall forthwith remove such a permit from the motor vehicle and advise Council to cancel the permit.

6. Council administration may, by notice in writing, revoke any residential parking permit(s) where:

• The holder of a permit changes his or her place of residence in respect of which the permit was issued, or;
• In the opinion of Council, it is no longer appropriate that the resident(s) of particular street(s) are issued with permits.

7. If an infringement notice for parking in accordance with the permit is received, the holder of the permit is required to make a written submission to Council for the notice to be waived.

8. Failure to display a valid permit is not a reason for Council to waive expiation.

9. Permits cannot override other laws under Australian Road Rules, therefore parking in zones such as No Standing, No Parking, Bus Stops or adjacent to traffic lights, intersections, junctions or pedestrian crossings or any other parking restriction would remain prohibited.

10. The permit will not allow the vehicle displaying the permit to remain stationary in the same position for a period in excess of 24 consecutive hours.

11. Non-compliance with the conditions of permit issue and use may result in the cancellation of the permit.

12. Council administration reserves the right to change the Residential Parking Permit conditions of issue and use.

13. Renewal costs will be documented in the Fees and Charges Register, which is updated annually.
