The City of Stonnington has transitioned to a digital parking permit system. This means you will no longer be issued with a physical permit to be displayed in your vehicle. You will instead be issued with a digital parking permit that is associated with your vehicle registration number.
We will write to permit holders approximately 6 weeks before their existing parking permit is due to expire to let them know about the new ePermit platform and the process to apply for a digital parking permit.
If you need to apply for a new parking permit now, you can apply via the ePermit platform.
We are hosting free information sessions in our libraries for residents who need extra help joining and navigating the new online ePermit system.
Your digital parking permits
A digital permit is linked to a vehicle registration number which means you no longer need to display a physical permit on your vehicle. You will be issued with a digital parking permit that is associated with your vehicle registration number/
All permit types offered by Council will be digital.
Permit types
You can also apply for a special occasion permit. These are valid for 2 days and cost $6.70 per vehicle for up to 10 vehicles.
If you already hold a specific vehicle parking permit or a variable parking permit, you can continue to display this permit in your vehicle until the expiry date.
Permit eligibility
The total number of permits you can have depends on your property. Eligible residents can hold any combination of:
- up to 3 resident permits
- up to 2 visitor permits
- up to 10 special occasion permits
