Resident parking permits

The amount of permits you can have depends on your property – please call 8290 1333 to check how many you are eligible for. 

The first two resident parking permits are free. This can include either two Vehicle Specific permits, or one Vehicle Specific and one Variable. You cannot have only two Variable permits.

It’s important you only use your resident parking permit as outlined in the terms and conditions.

You cannot use resident parking permits for: 

•  any business or commercial use

If you are the primary driver, but the vehicle is not registered in your name, please provide:

•  Current insurance document that lists your name as a driver 

If the vehicle is registered in a company name, please provide:

• one of the above documents AND
• a signed letter from the company on an official letterhead. The letter must state that you are the primary driver of the vehicle and that it is garaged at the address on your permit. 

Please send a copy of this document to council@stonnington.vic.gov.au or in person at one of our Customer Service centres. We will then issue you a new permit to attach to your vehicle.

If you permit is damaged, faded or hard to read in any way, it could be invalid and must be replaced. Please return the old permit to us and we will issue you a new one. You can do this in person at a Customer Service centre, or via mail to PO Box 58, Malvern VIC 3144.

What you need to do if you lose a permit depends on whether it was a Vehicle Specific or Variable permit. 

If you lose your Vehicle Specific permit, simply let us know by calling 8290 1333 or by email. We will then cancel it and issue you a new one via mail. 

To replace a Variable permit, the permit holder will need to fill out a statutory declaration claiming it is lost, to help prevent permit misuse. You can find a statutory declaration template here.  

Email or mail this form to us, pay the lost Variable permit fee ($102 but applied pro rata) and we will issue you with a new Variable permit via mail.
