Parking permits

Residents of Unley may be eligible for a residential parking permit.

There are two types of permits available:

  • Time Limited Parking Exemptions Permits– allows you to park your vehicle and overstay the time limit in a time restricted parking area in the street that the permit applies
  • Resident Parking Only Permits – allows you to park your vehicle in a resident only permit zone or overstay the time limit zone in the street that the permit applies

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.

Note:  Residents of a multi-dwelling residence such as an apartment or block of units where the development of the property was granted on or after 1 November 2013 are not eligible for a residential parking permit.
