Parking meters

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

Our Pay by Plate and Pay by Space parking meters are located throughout the Waverley Local Government Area.

Pay by Space locations include:

Bondi Beach

  • Queen Elizabeth Drive
  • Park Drive North
  • Park Drive South
  • The centre area of Campbell parade

Bronte Beach

  • Bronte Cutting

All other metered locations in Waverley are Pay by Plate.

Please note, tickets will not be printed. You no longer need to display a ticket on your vehicle’s dashboard. Motorcycles and scooters also require payment in metered areas.

All parking meters accept coins and secure credit card payment, as well as payment using new PayPass, Paywave and mobile payment technology, PayStay.
