Parking meters

Waverley Council operates a network of parking meters in commercial areas and at its beaches to help manage the demand for parking.

All metered locations in Waverley are Pay by Plate except for the below which are pay by space:

  • All parking meters accept coins and secure credit card payment, as well as payment using new PayPass, Paywave and mobile payment technology.
  • Council operates large metered parking areas at Bronte Beach (Bronte Cutting) and Bondi Beach (Queen Elizabeth Drive and Park Drive). Frequent visitors may benefit from a beach parking permit
  • You can access live availability of parking and pay for metered parking using the Park’nPay app
  • Council also operates three car parks.

Park’nPay
