Waverley Council offer various types of permits to its residents who live within the Residential Parking Scheme.
These permits include Residential, Annual Visitors, Short Term Visitors, Interim, Carers and Beach Parking Permits, and provide greater opportunity to park in some of Waverley's busiest areas.
In April 2018 Council consulted widely with the community over a proposal to radically overhaul Waverley’s Parking Permits and Fees. See the Current Projects page for the full list of changes.
The Residential Parking Scheme (RPS) operates in parts of Bondi Junction, Queens Park, Bondi Beach, Tamarama, Bronte and Charing Cross. To check eligibility, please follow the links for the permits below or phone our Customer Service Centre on 9083 8000.
