A Disability Parking Scheme currently operates throughout Australia.
The Scheme is designed to assist people with a disability to access facilities and services, and has 2 categories based on the need for assistance.
Applicants must reside within the City of Whittlesea and provide proof of residency, for example:
A Category 1 Permit is available to applicants with significant intellectual and mobility disabilities, who meet the eligibility criteria.
This permit allows parking in designated accessible parking bays. Time limits and fees may apply and will appear on the parking sign.
This permit also allows parking in an ordinary parking bay for twice the length of time shown on the parking sign. If a bay is metered, the standard parking fee must be paid for the first time period shown on the parking sign.
A Category 2 Permit is available to applicants who have walking difficulties and require rest breaks, who meet the eligibility criteria.
This permit allows parking in an ordinary parking bay for twice the length of time shown on the parking sign. If a bay is metered, the standard parking fee must be paid for the first time period shown on the parking sign.
