Residents of Unley may be eligible for a residential parking permit.
There are two types of permits available. The type of parking permit you will be issued is determined by the parking controls in your street, adjacent to your home.
A parking permit does not guarantee you a space to park your vehicle.
A parking permit allows you to either:
- Park your vehicle and overstay the time limit in a time restricted parking area,
- And/or allows you to park your vehicle in a Resident Only permit zone.
How to apply
To apply for a residential parking permit, you must:
- provide proof that you live in the eligible property
