Visitor Household Permit Information

If you live within a controlled parking zone, you can purchase a visitor household permit. It is a paper permit that can be displayed in any vehicle and allows that vehicle to park in a resident parking bay or shared use bay within the named CPZ shown on the permit. Once a permit application has been approved the permit will be valid for 24 months and it will enable you to purchase permit parking sessions for 3, 6 or 12 month lengths.

If you live in a car free development, you will not be able to buy a resident permit or visitor permits.

This is a physical permit. It will be posted out once payment has been received. Visitors must display the physical permit at all times in their parked vehicle.
