Beach Parking Permits

Beach Parking Permits are available to everyone. However, priority is given to Waverley residents and ratepayers who receive a substantial discount on the cost of the permit.

The permit carries an annual fee of $1745.00, which represents the value of parking available. Six month and three month permits are available at a reduced fee.

The annual fee is discounted to $150.00 for residents and rate payers of Waverley Council. This represents the cost of administration and a proportion of the system operating costs. Six month and concession permits are also available.

Unregistered vehicles are not eligible for a permit. Due to the physical constraints of the car parks Council has recommended that permits not be issued to trucks, trailers, boat trailers, caravans or any vehicle with a length greater than 6 metres.

Applications can be made by emailing parkingadmin@waverley.nsw.gov.au or in person at the Customer Service Centre, 55 Spring Street, Bondi Junction. To obtain a permit, you need to complete a Parking Permit application form, provide supporting documentation and pay the specified fee.

For a full fee permit, you need to provide the following documents:

• for private vehicles: your vehicle registration showing that you are the registered owner, or
