Residential on-street parking in Berhampore, Newtown, and Wadestown (from 3 June 2025) is divided into zones with a mix of:

spaces with no time limits – anyone can use for as long as they want
P120 spaces (Wadestown) or P180 spaces – anyone can use up to the two- or three-hour time limit.

To park longer than the time limit, you need a resident parking permit. Residents and businesses can apply for a permit for the zone they are located in.

Wadestown parking scheme

From 3 June 2025, Wadestown residential parking will be divided into two zones:

Wadestown east
Wadestown west

Within Wadestown east, there will be some P120 spaces – the two-hour time limit applies Monday–Sunday, 8am–8pm.

Wadestown east resident parking permit applications for the parking scheme year 3 June 2025–2 June 2026 open on Monday 14 April 2025.

This new parking scheme may be implemented in Wadestown west in late 2025, unless monitoring shows it's unnecessary. Residents will be sent an update in late 2025.

Resident parking permit

If you want to park in P120 or P180 spaces near your home for longer than the time limit, you need to apply for a resident parking permit. A permit will be for the zone you live in.

There is a maximum of two resident parking permits per household, except where there are multiple mobility permit holders in a single household.

Businesses in residentially zoned streets in Berhampore, Newtown west and Wadestown east can also apply for resident parking permits. They can apply for permits for up to two vehicles associated with the business.

The permit is:

electronic – your vehicle licence plate number works as the permit
only valid for the vehicle it's issued for
valid for a maximum of 12 months.

You need to reapply each year. Getting a permit one year is not a guarantee you’ll get one in future years. It will depend on the number of households and businesses that apply each year.

Permit fee

12-month resident parking permit fee: $195.00

How permits are allocated

The number of resident parking permits available is limited and will be allocated in rounds, by priority groups. The permit limit will help ensure parking is available for residents and provide more short-stay parking for visitors.

Permits will be issued in order of priority until all applications are processed or until the permit cap for the area has been reached.

Any dwelling with a driveway or garage kerb ramp will be deemed to have off-street parking because a ramp prevents anyone else parking on this part of the street.

Garages will count as off-street parking even if the garage is being used for other purposes like storage or is too small for an owner’s current vehicle.

Priority groups

Allocation will be done in rounds in the following order in line with the Parking Policy (excluding group 2):

Group 1 – temporary or permanent mobility permit holders
Group 2 - electric vehicle owners with no off-street parking (Note: In line with community feedback in late 2023, Councillors agreed this group will not have this priority level, or any special priority, as part of the Berhampore, Newtown and Wadestown parking scheme.)
Group 3 – first permit for houses built before 1930s or apartments built before 1940s with no off-street parking
Group 4 – first permit for other dwellings built before 2020 with no off-street parking
Group 5 – first permit for businesses located within the P120 or P180 resident permit exempt parking zone
Group 6 – second permits for priority dwellings as outlined below.
Group 6a) – multi-occupied dwellings (house share/flat) built before the 1930s with no off-street parking
Group 6(b) – multi-occupied dwellings (house share/flat) built between the 1930s and 2020 with no off-street parking
Group 6(c) – businesses within a P120 or P180 resident permit exempt parking zone with no off-street parking spaces, including staff or customer spaces
Group 7 – first permit for all dwellings built before August 2020 with one or more off-street parking spaces
Group 8 – first permit for all dwellings built from August 2020 with or without off-street parking spaces
Group 9 – second permits for all other dwellings.

Vehicle types not eligible for a resident parking permit

You can’t get a resident parking permit for these types of vehicles:

non-motorised vehicles (such as, trailers and caravans), heavy goods vehicles, motorhomes, house buses, buses, and coaches
boats
all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and quad bikes.

Under the Parking Policy, these vehicles have the lowest priority for long-stay on-street parking. Therefore, they are not eligible for parking permits.

Visitor day passes

A day pass allows anyone visiting your home to park longer than the time limit in P120 or P180 spaces. This pass is valid for a single calendar day.

All households in the Berhampore, Newtown west and Wadestown east parking zones can apply for a batch of free visitor day passes every year. You don’t need to have a resident parking permit to get the visitor day passes.

How the day passes are allocated:

Households with no off-street parking get 50 free visitor day passes a year.
Households with off-street parking get 25 free visitor day passes a year.

You can buy more visitor day passes for $18 each. See how to issue visitor day passes.

Businesses are not eligible to apply for visitor day passes.
