                    Better parking in your neighbourhood
                    As we deliver our Parking and Kerbside Management Plan, 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, plus reviewing and repositioning accessible parking spaces to improve location and accessibility. Find out more at better parking.

                    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Disability parking options 

                    ​We provide designated kerbside spaces in the municipality for vehicles displaying Australian Disability Parking permits. 

                    Permit holders can also park for double the time shown on the sign in any general ‘green signed’ parking space. 

                    Accessible parking spaces are also provided by some off-street car​ parks​

                    Disability parking permits 

                    ​To use designated accessible parking spaces you must display a valid disability parking permit. 

                    The accessible permit scheme managed by VicRoads includes three permit types: 

                    • Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit for individuals 
                    • Double Time (DT) permit for individuals 
                    • Australian Disability Parking (ADP) permit for organisations. 

                    City of Melbourne manages an additional permit type: 

                    • City Access permit for individuals (who hold a valid ADP permit). 

                    Visit parking permits for people with disability for full details on eligibility, conditions, usage and how to apply. 

                    ​Access and mobility information 

                    Our access and mobility maps​ show the locations of accessible toilets, mobility recharging points, public seating and drinking fountains as well as train station entrances and tram and bus stops.
