Your skip, bin or container must be placed in front of the address used in your application.
If the location is not available, you must then place it in the nearest possible place that:
- complies with the permit conditions
- provides for the safe movement of materials to and from the skip.
It must be placed parallel with the kerb within a parking bay or loading zone.
You can download a skip placement checklist (PDF 695 KB) / (DOCX 36 KB). It can be laminated and kept in a vehicle cabin.
Construction parking zone
Permits for skips, bins and containers are not required within construction parking zones, provided they remain wholly within the 'Permit Zone Construction Vehicles' sign and do not stand on the road outside the days and times indicated.
For example, in a construction parking zone where the sign has an end time of 6.30pm, if the skip will remain on the road beyond that time, you must have a skip permit.
Reserved parking
You can place a skip, bin or container in a reserved parking area only when you have permission from the permit holder.
This includes signs: 'No Stopping, Reserved Parking Permit Holders Excepted'.
Parking sign restrictions
You must ensure a restricted parking condition does not apply for any time your skip, bin or container is in place. A restriction is indicated by a red parking sign.
For example, a red parking sign might show a clearway operates between 4.30pm and 6.30pm. If your skip is in this location, you must remove it before the clearway applies. You can place the skip back after the clearway time ends.
