Tradesperson Parking Permits are only issued to owners of property who live within the City of Melbourne municipality and who are already eligible for a residential parking permit.
Restrictions:
- Due to the limited supply of parking spaces, owners of property in the central city and Docklands are not eligible for Tradesperson Parking Permits.
- Tradesperson Parking Permits are intended for small home renovations, not for initial constructions or large reconstructions of a home.
For large-scale construction, find out how to apply for a construction parking permit (construction permit zone).

Replacement permits
If a permit is lost, stolen or damaged the permit holder may request a replacement permit in writing to us at tradesparking@melbourne.vic.gov.au.
You’ll need to outline the reasons for replacement and submit the required documents as follows:
Provide a copy of a police report. We take permit misuse very seriously and after receiving a police report, we’ll cancel your old permit immediately.
Return the damaged permit to us via post or by visiting Melbourne Town Hall. We’ll wait to receive this before issuing your replacement permit.
If you provide the above information, we will replace the permit at no cost. The replacement permit will have the same expiry date as the permit it replaces.
If you can’t provide the above information, a new permit may be issued (with a new expiry date) at the cost of a new permit.
