Parking

Demand for parking spaces on the streets of Waverley, in some areas, exceeds the supply of spaces on most days. Waverley’s parking system consists of paid and permit parking and residential zones, and is reviewed and adjusted regularly to maximise its capacity so that everyone – residents, visitors, commuters and business operators – has fair and equal access to spaces.

Many Waverley residents choose to become members of a Car Share program so that they can have the convenience of a car without the costs associated with personal car ownership. Car Share vehicles often occupy authorised parking spaces with each active car share space resulting in up to six fewer cars parked in our residential streets.

  Permits

  A number of permits are available to Waverley residents on an annual basis. Permits vary from beach parking and residential parking permits, to new carers’ and visitors’ permits, and provide greater opportunities to park in some of the LGA’s busiest areas.

  Resident Parking Schemes

  Resident Parking Schemes operate in different parts of Waverley. Residents who live within one of the zones may be eligible for a Residential Parking Permit so they can park free of charge, for an unlimited time, in the zone designated on the permit.
