You must display a valid and current permit to use one of these bays.
Disabled parking bays
A disabled parking space can only be used by someone with a blue-on-white disabled 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.
There are two types of parking permits for people with disabilities:
- blue-on-white
- green-on-white.
Both are issued by local Councils in accordance with State guidelines.
A person with disabilities who holds only a green-on-white permit, or who does not hold any permit, must not park in signed blue disabled parking bays.
Holders of either permit can park for twice the time normally allowed in ordinary parking spaces.
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.
Note: in order to be eligible to park twice the normal time you must initially pay for the full ticketed parking time displayed.
The following appeals would not be considered valid reasons for withdrawal of parking infringements:
- I hold a green-on-white permit, but there were only blue on white parks available.
- I didn’t realise my permit had expired.
