                    Better parking in your neighbourhood
                    We’re delivering our Parking and Kerbside Management Plan. That means we’re reviewing and revising the parking in all neighbourhoods across the City of Melbourne to make parking simpler and fairer. Improvements include cheaper rates for off-peak times and free parking for short stops under 15 minutes with the EasyPark app. Find out more at better parking.

                    A great experience in the City of Melbourne starts with planning your trip.

                    Public transport is ideal for traveling to and around the city. You'll avoid traffic and can take advantage of services that run all night on Friday and Saturday.

                    For stress-free parking that you can often pre-book, the CBD has more than 100 off-street car parks. 

                    Limited kerbside spaces​ are available in the CBD for parking up to two hours.

                    Taxi and rideshare services also make it easy to get around without needing to park.

                    Melbourne Car Park Operators Forum

                    Car park operators meet quarterly to discuss issues related to safety and security in Melbourne's car parks.  

                    The forum is managed by Victoria Police.  

                    Representatives include Victoria Police, City of Melbourne and car park operators. 

                    Contact us​ if you manage a car park in the municipality and wish to join the Melbourne Car Park Operators Forum.

                    Private parking and private enforcement agreements

                    City of Melbourne has several private parking agreements​ and private enforcement agreements in place across the municipality.  

                    These agreements can help prevent illegal or unauthorised parking ​on private property or privately owned roads. 

                    Our parking enforcement officers can issue fines on private property if the property owner has an agreement with us. 

                    Find out more about private parking agreements​.
