Parking improvements

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.
