Residential Parking Permits

Residents who live within the boundaries of a residential parking zone may be eligible for a permit.

Permits can only be issued to sedans, utilities, panel vans, station wagons, motor bikes or lorries with a gross vehicle weight of less than 4.5 tonnes.

Permits cannot be issued to non-residents even if they operate a business in the Waverley area or are a Waverley Council ratepayer.

Two residential parking permits are available for RPS zones – Residential Parking Permits and Interim Residential Parking Permits.

Permits are valid for 6 or 12 months from the date of purchase. Permit holders should renew their permit by submitting an application form and supporting documentation prior to the expiry of their current permit.

Interim Residential Parking Permits are granted only to enable residents time to update their vehicle registration to their current address and are only available once per registration. There are two types of Interim Residential Parking Permits:

• 30 Day Permits will be granted to residents who are updating their NSW Registration address
• 3 Month Permits will be granted to residents who are transferring their registration from interstate

The number of permits a household may be entitled to is limited by the number of off-street parking spaces available (i.e. garage, carport, car space on property etc) and the number of cars registered to that address. A maximum of 3 permits may be held by a household or boarding residence at any time, as per current Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) guidelines.

Fees apply for the issue of most Residential and Interim Residential Parking Permits. From 1 July 2018 the first Residential Parking Permit where there is no car space is free of charge. Current fees are listed on the relevant application form.
