Mobility car parks

A mobility parking permit allows the holder to park in mobility parking spaces for the time indicated on the park.  Permit holders must make sure when using designated mobility car parks, that their permit is valid and clearly displayed.  A fine for the misuse of a mobility car park is $150.

Parking for people with limited mobility

The central business district from Customhouse Street to Derby Street has 18 specially marked mobility parks.  These parks are wider than normal for wheelchair access.  All parks have their own parking meter.   The parks are clearly marked with blue paint and wheelchair symbols painted on the road.  There is also a sign on the footpath.
