A disabled parking space can only be used by someone with a disability parking permit, or by a driver who is parking the car so that the disabled permit holder can get in or out of the car.  Permits are only valid when the disabled person is travelling in the vehicle.

A disabled parking permit must be displayed at the left side or centre of the front windscreen, so that the permit number and expiry date can be seen from outside.

The driver must give his/her name and address and produce his/ her driver’s licence and the permit when asked to do so by police or a parking officer.

The following appeals would not be considered valid reasons for withdrawal of parking infringements:

  • I hold a Victorian Double Time Accessible Parking Permit, but there were only blue on white parks available.
  • I didn’t realise my permit had expired.
