Work or construction zone parking permit

If your business is carrying out lawful building or construction work and requires short-term parking near the site, you may be eligible for a Work or construction zone parking permit.

This permit allows temporary parking on a section of road adjacent to the construction site when it’s not reasonably practical to keep all vehicle-related activities within the site.

This permit does not apply to developments approved under a Development Approval (DA). Parking and vehicle access for DA-related works should be addressed within the DA documentation.

Permits may be issued to employees or representatives of a business undertaking lawful building or construction activities.
